How many Starbucks customers buy just coffee?
This is shown to be a hit in European cities, where just based on a guess espresso and coffee is more popular. The majority of Starbucks customers are probably buying mixed specialty drinks.
Watching a Sbux barista make just a few drink, they probably go through a gallon jug of milk in minutes at peak times. How much fresh chilled milk can this cart hold? Not saying there's no market, but taking on Sbux seems a bit mis-targeted.

- volaski 11y agoSomething similar to what you say now was said by people when Starbucks was just beginning. "The majority of Americans just drink Folgers and don't care about arabica coffee"
- adamio 11y agoI guess I'm wondering what this offers Starbucks customers that Starbucks does not or cannot, which will steal marketshare? The advantage to a franchisee is obvious, but not so much for Starbucks customers

- hyperbovine 11y agoCoffee that tastes good. Starbucks coffee is just horrendous. I assume they are so successful because they mostly sell glorified milkshakes these dayd. If you don't believe me type "third wave coffee" into yelp and go do a flavor comparison.
- volaski 11y agoI actually think Starbucks Americano is one of the best Americanos I've ever tried, and I've tried all kinds. I've lived in both SF and NY and been to many "famous" coffee shops like blue bottle, philz, etc. (in my book philz is better than starbucks but blue bottle is not so much) but haven't had many Americanos that top Starbucks. Plus they are the only ones with really large size (venti). I don't drink their regular coffee so I can't really say much about them but have you tried Starbucks americano?
