How in the world did Starbucks manage to slowly and methodically convince society that filtered water with a squirt of caramel is worth $5?

And why are we supporting this sick company?

I worked with some of their tech guys a few years ago and was so impressed that I bought the stock. It has done well for me.



Would you buy it at today's price?


No.

It's not as bad as some mom-and-pop coffee places that actually charge more for coffee than Starbucks.

Why anyone buys coffee from someone else and doesn't make their own is beyond me. Rarely do I ever get a good cup of just black coffee from any chain, gas station or hipster joint.

With Kuerig style makers and reusable filters you can put your own grounds in, freshly ground that morning mind you, and you can make a good sized cup in 2 minutes. So time is no excuse. You're also able to source your own beans that are easily much higher quality than what chains are getting in bulk.
