[Snowflake]

I go to Starbucks because it is the McDonald's of coffee spots, you fall over one every other block. I also go because my boss is addicted and I pick up a drink for her when I am on the way in to the office.

I'm primarily a tea drinker myself, I like the chai latte from Starbucks, but I drink not too many of them, even with non-fat milk, too much sugar for me (see the calorie counts for SB drinks on their site, it's horrifying and as bad as McDonalds burgers in comparison)

I feel SB pretty much burns the beans, but I felt that way about Peets, too (used to be our office coffee many moons ago). I'm not a coffee snob, I drink it rarely, enjoy a good latte or cappuccino every so often. My little stovetop bialetti uses Illy decaf.
