  It’s not even coffee. It’s artificial sweeteners with a bit of sugar and some more sweeteners.

    Mostly real sugar isn’t it? I always viewed Starbucks as kind of an adult breast milk. Sweet warm milk with a little stimulant to keep from crying on the way to work.

    There’s no need descend to such hyperbolic depths, there are plenty of factually accurate complaints against the company and their product.

      Really? I wouldn’t call it coffee either, in a sense that the coffee beans are not the most important ingredient of the drinks, in either taste or volume…

        They sell that. They also sell tea and milkshakes, but you can go into any Starbucks and get a cup of drip coffee, or an espresso, or cold brew, or a mocha. But people like the sweet drinks and Starbucks is happy to oblige.

        They roast their beans too dark because they care more about consistency than subtlety or complexity, their anti-union pushes are bad for workers, they displaced a load of small coffee shops (I have seen significant rebound, but that might just be my region), there’s this new “supercommuter” nonsense.

        Pointing at a Frappuccino and saying “they don’t even sell coffee!” has no negative impact on their brand or business, it’s a transparently pointless claim to the general public, and it distracts from the very real problems Starbucks has.

    Well, I take their cold brew every once in a while (where I live is basically the only place that does it) and it’s quite good. I take it with no sugar, only ice.

      Same. It was one the worst espressos of my life. Considering that I live in Brazil, the world’s largest producers of coffee, that disgusting liquid was like a slap in the face.
