    I started boycotting Starbucks when I learned they had partnered with Nestle for store-bought products - their Sumatra and Komodo Dragon coffees were pretty good.

    I send an email every year or so to let them know, since boycotts aren’t effective if the group being boycotted doesn’t know why, with predictably apathetic responses.

    Anyway, if you’re a no-Nestle person then Starbucks is on the list…

      I started boycotting Starbucks since the first time I tasted their coffee. Espresso isn’t supposed to taste like burning tyres. I don’t understand how they can charge so much for dogshit coffee.

      It’s not impossible to make a chain of coffee houses that serves decent coffee, Espresso House did it in Sweden.
