Starbucks is a better place for a cup of coffee than at home.
When you go to Starbucks you can expect to pay about $4.50 for a Venti (That is they're large). When you're at home, you can have as much coffee as you want for about an average cost of 5-10 cents each. Even if you want your coffee stronger, it doesn't cost that much extra.
At Starbucks, you can get a sophisticated blend of coffee with some rich foam on top. They have several blends that are personalized and you can't buy it anywhere else. At home, you can get a good quality bean that is already ground up or a bean that you have to ground up yourself, but it comes from a can and it is plain.
Starbucks focuses heavily on customer service and personal selling. Every aspect of the Starbucks experience makes the consumer feel as though they are getting the highest quality product and service offered. The service that comes from home is from your coffee pot and you.
Starbucks retail outlets offer a trendy atmosphere where customers can buy gourmet coffee, sit down and enjoy it right there. It is a store with foreign influences that blend with American styles, and it is a great place to calm our stress and talk about our problems when we want to get away. The atmosphere at your home may be trendy but it is common. It is a place where you eat most of your meals and spend your weekends with family. It may be the very place where you are getting your stress.
Yes your home is supposed to be a relaxing place but there is no place like a coffee shop. Starbucks has a menu of things that are healthy as well as good and the best part is you don't have to make it yourself. But of course, labor comes with a little extra price, but the quality is great!
