    Labeling Starbucks coffee as a premium experience is a bold statement. Did he never drank real coffee? “Oh but it’s premium because our coffee tastes so bad, we just add a lot of sugar and flavors to it so you won’t notice.”

    I would actually pay $9 for the premium experience of seeing this CEO getting a cup of boiling hot coffee in his face.

      The coffee is not the experience. Everything around that coffee is. The mug, the barista with a smile, the friendly words, the lighting, the music there, the seats, the flower pots, …

        Ok, I can get that at every single other cafe bar in town, but with a genuine smile instead of an American one.

          Sure. But that is what they mean with the experience. It is not about the coffee itself.

            That’s what I don’t want to understand. The experience is not premium, it’s like any fast food joint. Standardized, quick, efficient.

            You’ll get a better experience at almost any small café next door.
