SBUX product costs too much compared to brands that are less expensive.

All in all, if you're just looking for a cup of joe, it's not worth spending a lot of money on a name-brand; I just buy whatever's on sale at Safeway!

(And, yes, I'm a coffee fan. I usually have my daily mocha from Fremont Coffee, but I'd die without my daily pot of drip!)

The less a corp does to chemically and mechanically alter a natural product the better.

I was surprised by the flavor. I buy the whole been and I find it better than the store brands and Starbucks. Go figure.

Maybe experience counts in coffee as well as most of the rest of life.
