Dear Starbucks, I think your coffee sucks.

I have been wanting to share my thoughts on this for quite some time, but have chosen to remain silent until today. I just can't accept this any longer. Starbucks...your coffee is absolutely horrendous. It tastes like acid-soaked chalky water that has been left out on my counter for weeks and then microwaved at the last moment. Yeah, I said it. But, why? Why does the most popular coffee chain in the country happen to have the worst tasting brew?? Trust me - I've done my part. I have tried to dress up my "Grande Verona Blend" or "Tall Pike's Place" for years...2% milk and splenda, half and half with plain sugar...even a shot of gingerbread syrup...it still tastes the same. Lucky for me, I happen to have other coffee options near my office, but I often feel a sense of remorse for those who do not have this luxury, and who do not feel like spending $4.67 on a tall skim extra hot latte that often times arrives luke warm and sans foam (a latte is supposed to have foam. Always. The foam is the best part.) I have decided that it must be a joke - and the owners of Starbucks are the only ones laughing. You have won, Mr. Starbucks. I am not going to spend money on your extra strong, rancid and abhorent tasting plain coffee. But alas! Look at the myriad of OTHER, more costly options we can choose from that only set us back a few extra bucks! This being said, I find it only fair that you remove the "coffee" part of your title - leaving your name as solely "Starbucks". What do you think?
