When I went back to the States recently I was shocked by just how bad Starbucks coffee has gotten. And, it was not predictable at all - the three drinks I got there (all the same drink) were each terrible in their own special way. The only reason I went back a second and third time was sheer morbid curiosity. I didn't bother going to a McDonald's, but then again McDonald's was already like that when I still lived in the US anyway. Starbucks coffee in Japan isn't great, but it isn't fucking gross either. And it is very, very consistent.
