There's isn't a more overrated product in America than Starbucks coffee.

This is the best coffee. Especially the 'Murdered Out' blend. Next to that 'Beyond Black'

Not sure about truck stops.

You can get really good coffee at high volume gas stations. Racetrack is a good example, but each region has a chain like that.

I agree with you, hell I like 7/11 coffee better than Starbucks coffee

Which you’d think would be something they would want to fix. I guess they’re fine selling their fruity and sugary drinks for more $$$ though, seems to be working for them.
Like others have said, the Americano and their Lattes are pretty good.

Also, a cup of coffee at Starbucks is like $1.99, I don’t know what your local coffee house charges but mines usually $2.50 or more, so the price is actually pretty good. It just tastes like crap

And yet it is STILL better than Starbucks. I'm by no means whatsoever a coffee aficionado, but Starbucks is like drinking from an ashtray.

But hey, Starbucks is a case study in marketing in how they have gotten Americans to significantly overpay for a relatively cheap product just so they can buy a particular brand.

It is called charbucks in the roasting community, because they knowingly overroast their beans.

My local place is about a dollar cheaper than Starbucks on everything and is a better product. White rock coffee FTW

Short americano extra shot is my go to.

I get regular coffee only if they have their French Roast.

Sometimes it’s a style thing. I love the “burnt” flavor.
Don’t like Dunkin coffee at all.

Just get the light roast...or just make your own coffee like I do. I travel occasionally and if I have free morning time ill stop into a local coffee shop. I will on rare occasions get starbucks(cause people like to regift me starbucks gift cards). I get the americano or light roast.

Their coffee is trash. The blonde roast is the best they have.

They over roast the shite out of their beans. That gives the wonderful smell we all love and the distinct taste Starbucks has in their mixed drinks. But it makes their black coffee taste pretty damn bad.
