To me, Starbucks regular coffee just tastes burnt. Maybe it's because it is burnt...

I am not a Starbucks fan either. It is just nasty. It tastes like that
coffee you find at midnight that was in the Bunn cooking all day.
I had a hard time finding a regular cup of coffee in New Zealand too.
It is all espresso there. We talked to the owner of a little
restaurant out in the country for a while and she said that was fairly
new and she was not sure why the whole country "got on the bandwagon".
She didn't like espresso either but that was what the market demanded.
She sold me a cup of regular coffee from her personal pot.

I don't like the coffee Starbucks brews and serves. It always tastes
"too strong" for my taste. I do like WaWa brewed coffee, though.

The 7-11 coffee was real good in the 70s. When they changed the cups,
the coffee was different. It was all part of an "improvement" in the
food and beverage center and I am sure the coffee blend changed. I
think some of the flavor may have come from the cup. ;-)

I used to stop at a 7-11 in Great Falls, Va., while I was general
contracting a house out there. Sometimes I'd get a plain donut. In those
days, 7-11 got its donuts from Montgomery Donuts, and they were pretty
good. Then the chain changed its coffee and donut supplier, and both
products went to hell. The local 7-11s don't attend properly to their
coffee decanters, and many times it is lukewarm. I don't often stop
there if there is a WaWa nearby.
