It's actually kind of depressing that their shops smell so good but their coffee tastes so bad. I want to like Starbucks, I really do, because it smells so good and they have comfy couches and chairs. And the hipster guy on his macbook always looks so happy when he's there. But the taste is horrid. What's the appeal?

>what's the appeal?
Lots and lots of marketing to normies. And it helped since America didn't have an established coffee culture beyond over-extracted automatic drip coffee made with stale pre-ground beans sitting on a diner counter all day.

Order a Latte Macchiato (NOT a caramel macchiato), it changes how they make the coffees so you're more likely to get one that tastes good.

I can't get over the fact that they charge nearly $4 for 12oz of brewed coffee.
Plain coffee has to be the cheapest commodity drink to make, it's up there with fountain drinks, the syrup is dirt cheap for the amount of servings it makes.

>Tim's is poison
I don't know what realm you live in, but here in the most populated city in Canada, I can firmly tell you that you're wrong. Across maybe 50 different Tim's locations, their standard coffee and even their dark roast coffee are both at the very least "okay" and at times I'd even say it's good.

The price to flavour is what I go for, and the consistency of quality is another factor. For 2$ at Tim's, it'd cost me 6$ at a Starbucks for the same size of coffee, and Starbucks tastes like ass by comparison.

It also helps that Tim's sells decently priced food as well that only costs pocket change im comparison to a Starbucks.
