  Again, you might be able to frame this as a cute throwback to 20 years ago, back when Starbucks carried some prestige. To drink a Starbucks coffee meant that you not only cared about the quality of your product, but you liked to immerse yourself in an elevated third space.

got me - I have no recollection of any point in time in which I knew any people that ever equated Starbucks with quality coffee .. I suspected that may have only ever been an ephemeral central north american thing.

Starbucks crashed and failed hard in Australia.
