Ok..I like StarBucks..If I am in an airport and there is no where else to go..The prices are too high.If blindfolded in a taste test..Would you really be able to tell the diffrence.My grandma humble and sweet can whip up A hot chocolate that would make Starbucks cry..Life is just becoming more and more exspensive and ridiculous.I bet the people picking those beans for Starbucks are not getting paid 4 bucks a cup!

I think it's overrated. I haven't ever really had it... my mom has bought it a couple of times but i still think it's overrated lol i hear about it all the time. and think "yeah, ok" lol it's really not that good. i'd take dunkin donuts over starbucks. i think they are better anyway. hehe i don't why people pay so much for that stuff. it's not worth it in my opinion but i'm not a big coffee drinker either

It is definitely not worth it if you are not a coffee drinker. For sure.

Yes, it is overrated. I like Starbucks too. But the prices are just too much,, I mean really. I can tell a difference if blindfolded, but that doesn't seem like enough of a difference for pricing.

i roast my own beans because i got tired of drinking crappy coffee, i like mine dark strong and this way i get it the way i like it, but if i run out of green coffee beans and waiting for a shipment i run to starbucks for their italian roast bold. to me, i don't mind paying for a good cup of coffee and starbucks carries some, yes for sure their overated if you drink that dunkin donuts swill. and never ,never will i drink one of those 5000 calorie crapachino's or pinyata's whatever they call it, i mean just take a shot of coffee in your mouth some cream suck on a sugar pack and jump around, that will be 4.95 please.

Hi autunno, welcome to mylot! Yes Starbucks is overrated and I herd today on the news that they are letting 7000 of their employees go and closing about 300 stores, guess the bad economy is catching up to them. I like the coffee at Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds better anyway.

I have always thought it was over-rated. That's not to say that I haven't been there, normally because I'm with my oldest daughter and she loves Starbucks. lol I do however like the iced lattes at Dunkin Donuts, and at Sheetz. They are all about the same price, so I don't go to either very often.

I don't go to Starbucks at all. I think they do fine as a business and maybe they might be overpriced. I wouldn't mind drinking starbucks coffee, I like coffee. Cheers!!
