@The Chairman, never noticed, you must have the nose of a Bloodhound! But have noticed “eggy” sulphuric smell in Florida water, could that factor in to the “Bathroom Bouquet” you mentioned?
Why do you drink Starbucks?

100% Kona beans roasted at Home
(Or it’s 50 / bag, shipped in 20 pound bags of green it’s 18) we get our grass fed beef and coffee direct from the farmer
Konaloha - 100 Percent Kona Coffee
Starbucks tastes like old grinds to me and I can’t stand the thought of the line, the process
There is a brain dead vibe in there i don’t enjoy

Imagining the farmers living their dreams adds to the experience

I feel like I should be in a meeting as I confess "My name is John, and I drink Starbucks..."
but I do enjoy it. The price and pretentiousness puts me off though. The size thing, c'mon people. Who thought that was a good idea?
I don't like their default Pike's Place though. Can't believe they chose that for their flagship cup. I like to go later in the day and ask for a cup of dark roast, which they won't have, so I get a nice fresh pour-over. Komodo Dragon or Sumatra, please. French/Italian Roast and Cafe Verona are distant seconds.
Yum yum yum. No room for cream, just black, thanks.
Only once in a while, though. It's a treat.
More often, but not every day, I'll get the Brazilian Dark Roast at 7-11. Very good for a reasonable price, esp if you bring your own cup and get a "refill" for $1.

Nose of a bloodhound? Probably not. It's simply not that long, and it's certainly not cold.
No, it's not sulfurous and Im not the only one to notice: Coffee: The 10 Foods That Make Your Urine Smell The Most - Tested.com
Drink Starbucks? You must be kidding. Back when I drank coffee, I brewed my own (and survived)

Coffee-smell pee is definitely a thing - I notice it most when I'm dehydrated 
And the Starbucks sizing is soooo obnoxious

Are you for Scuba?
FWIW, I don't drink Starbucks, although I have in the past, simply as a last resort. At home, I enjoy my own roasted coffee and because I roast, I sense that Starbucks over-roasts their beans. Unlike Eric, I do enjoy Peet's when available... particularly their reserve blends.
The whole schitck with ordering bizarre concoctions at any coffee shop, is not my style. That either covers up the taste of bad coffee or is a demostrative of self-importance... neither of which I find the least bit interesting.

Because it's at airports. I've never drunk a Starbucks at home. Convenience.

Last on the list of places I choose for coffee. Too expensive, too affected, and really not all that good IMO. And FTR, most of what they serve isn't coffee anyway. They are sugary dessert drinks with some added coffee for flavor.
I prefer my Tim's.
