I haven’t even stepped foot in a Starbucks - ever - but then again, I’m not American either.

In my experience, coffee you make at home is practically always better than what you get from a coffee shop. Even if you’re just using a basic drip machine and decent pre-ground beans.

I’ve only twice ever gotten actually good coffee from a shop. One was a pour-over from beans I watched the barista grind fresh, and the other they made with an Aeropress.

That being said. Even the worst coffee is better than no coffee.
