It seems to me you're arguing just for the pleasure of arguing. Of course I sometimes buy coffee with restaurant meals or snacks but NEVER at Starbucks which exists only to sell overpriced coffee. I suppose ignorance is where you find it, and I find it in your post. This thread is about Starbucks.
Listen Pal, you're the one who said:
I've always made my own coffee and always will. I can buy a pound of the finest coffee beans, enough for 30 or 40 cups.I don't know if English is a second language for you, but you might try to better understand the meaning of the word always.

And BTW, if you think Starbucks is overpriced, just try buying a cup of coffee at a Hyatt sometime.
