Awesome! Now I can get my overpriced subpar “coffee” (aka sugary disasters) and charge my overpriced “luxury” vehicle at the same time. Only in America.

- JojoFatsani 2y agoYou can still order regular-ass coffee and espresso drinks from sbux if you have the self discipline to do so.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoFor like 75% more than the 7/11 charges for that black coffee.
- AdamJacobMuller 2y agoI'm far from a coffee snob (I buy most of my coffee from Costco) but the problem is that starbucks over-roasts their beans, so, anything without sugar and milk added tastes bitter.
- ehnto 2y agoIt's worldwide too, I have never had a coffee that wasn't bitter from any Starbucks. A milk heavy coffee like a latte is a drink that shouldn't need it, but even those are too bitter at Starbucks. What it actually reminds me of though, is the taste of a shot that was pulled then stored in a fridge. I wouldn't be shocked find out that they store excess shots for later drinks and they end up even more bitter.
- sgerenser 2y agoThey definitely don’t store excess shots for later. Even their brewed coffee had timers and workers were required to dump and rebrew after ~20 minutes.
- skyyler 2y agoYou can request the coffee roast to be “blonde” (including espresso shots!) which basically means “not burnt”. It’s still a pretty dark roast, but way more tolerable. Still expensive for what it is.
- xyst 2y agoI would just rather not support one of the worst companies in this country.

- saagarjha 2y agoSure, you can also just not buy their coffee.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoExpect even more dark patterns with the charging stations in the future. 20 minutes waiting on the charger is 20 minutes to be monetized in some way.
- xyst 2y ago“In order to begin charging, you must pay attention (recorded by eye camera) to this 30 second ad as a _regular_ charging user. Upgrade to EV++ for ad free charging experience!”
- ipsum2 2y agoWhy is this a bad thing?
- xyst 2y agoIt highlights excessive consumerism and waste that has become rampant in this country.
- AdamJacobMuller 2y agoDrinking 1000 calorie milkshakes filled with HFCS and artificial flavors and colors disguised as coffee on a regular basis is not good for your health.

- kevinventullo 2y agoYeah, nothing more American than… drinking coffee and driving an electric car?
