  Soook much misinformation… In no particular order:

  • Starbucks is a brand, not any specific beverage or even type of drink. You sound like a boomer saying “a Nintendo”
  • You don’t even try to give a reason for your arbitrary 11 AM cutoff time. Zero sources as well.
  • YSK is for facts, not biased opinions.
  • Almost every coffee shop that sells coffee also sells sweetened and frozen coffee drinks, with similar caloric/sugar content.
  • Your own link clarifies that the right amount of coffee is good for you, an important distinction.
  • Saying Starbucks is not coffee doesn’t make sense, but it’s also blatantly false. Their coffee-based drinks are obviously made with “real coffee” and it’s easily provable. Just like every other coffee shop.
  • There’s no sources for what you say about tea.
  • Saying a brand is trash is 100% opinion. Plenty of people don’t like them, but putting that in the post shows how your prejudiced opinion shouldn’t be listened to.
  • There’s no source for the cherry-picked drink contents.
  • Saying a brand is good or bad is (again) complete opinion, so a conclusion can’t be reached.
  • Opinions aren’t facts. My opinion is your post is shit.

    I agree with everything except for this part:

    Almost every coffee shop that sells coffee also sells sweetened and frozen coffee drinks, with similar caloric/sugar content.

    You wouldn’t find another coffee shop in my city that sells anything comparable to the sugar-milk-coffee drinks from Starbucks. An affogato or caffè freddo probably has less than half the amount of sugar. They have pastries that dissolve your enamel within three bites though.

    But to reiterate, wrong community for this post.

• ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Everything here is false equivalency. Starbucks sells regular coffee, it looks just like your AI pics you include, and the calorie count is going to be quite low. Yes, sugary drinks are sugary. You can also get lattes without any syrup in them, and while you can certainly argue that Starbucks beans aren’t the best in the industry, their lattes are pretty similar to lattes at any coffee shop.

  This whole post is like “You shouldn’t go to McDonalds because they have a mcdouble cheeseburger with 1000 calories in it and you could make a salad at home.”

  Also, I’d like to acknowledge that this sub is called “You Should Know”, which to me implies it should be about important educational facts, not opinion pieces.

  Erm, not that I’m a fan of Starbucks at all but they absolutely have decent real coffe that has zero sugar in it. Several blends in fact.

  source

  • p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Starbucks uses local imports. The biggest problem is that they burn the shit out of the beans to normalize it down to the same flavor. So, the big appeal of using locally-sourced beans is wiped away by the way the need for a consistent “flavor”.

    That’s why Starbucks coffee tastes like shit.

    It always has a burnt aftertaste IMO.

    source

    • Tujio@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That’s because they burn it. It’s a branding thing. Massive companies demand uniformity in flavor. McDonald’s puts huge amounts of effort into making sure that a big mac in Maine tastes exactly the same as a big mac in LA.

      Coffee beans are unpredictable, though. Beans from the same farm from the same crop can taste different month to month. So to make it uniform they overroast (burn) the beans.

    It’s ok coffee. It’s like Chifila - in 1998, when your mall got its first Starbucks, it was head and shoulders above the other options, which were 7/11 and IHOP. However, now that chicken sandwiches are taken seriously, basically everyone who tries beats whatever soggy shit CFA has on offer.

  Says “coffee is good but Starbucks is trash” while showing sugar-laden concoctions that can be served at most any chain coffee shop and plenty of indy shops will sell you whipped-cream-topped drinks aside from Starbucks, and not showing that you can indeed buy just a plain cup of coffee from Starbucks.

      Dude if you can try Colombian coffee, don’t need no gourmet just buy what you can find. I love sello Rojo, it’s less strong than pilão but has more taste.

      As for American coffee, the things I tried when travelling didn’t taste like coffee at all. Everywhere I go that has this American style coffee capsules I have to put 2 expressos to even find the coffee smell, and that’s from a Brazilian that thinks pilão is strong.

  You should know that there’s a vast invested interest from massive drinks companies to push “caffeine is healthy” while selling caffeinated drinks with unhealthy levels of caffeine.

  All of the “a glass of redwine is healthy”-studies tuned out to be paid for by alcohol companies.

  We know how bad lobbying is.

  So don’t use this as an excuse to drink a half a gallon of energy drinks in the mornings and think it’s positive for your health.

  Ofc I’m not denying some moderate doses of drinks not filled with other shit could be healthy, I’m too lazy to go actually read the study right now.

    Breaking news: caffeine is DRUGS people.

    This is not sarcasm; it is a psychoactive stimulant on par with coke and amphetamines. Your heart and kidneys do not know what drug schedules are.

    source

    • Dasus@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I agree.

      But I must point out US drug scheduling is political, not scientific.

      heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote.

      Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

      The only two actually more dangerous ones there are methaqualone and heroin. But you’d have to be kinda silly to say cannabis is schedule one and cocaine schedule two, that cannabis has “no accepted medical use”. And also strong opiates definitely have accepted medical use.

      War on drugs is bs.
