Susan H Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I guess it's just the name and I also think it was the one who made coffee shops real popular here in the Philippines. Quote Link to comment
Chair Man Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Starbucks uses local arabica beans, not sure if barako or amadeo. It also uses milk from batangas. So you're not really drinking imported beans unless it was packed. Mugs and merchandise cost 50% more because of the brand. They're all made in china, so might as well go to 168.So What's so special about Starbucks? for me its gotta be the ambience. the noise the chit chat, the girls that think they're so sosy when drinkin frap, the feel of the place. did i mention the girls ?

chancepassenger30 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 they just fix their place up really nice. coffee is good, but not THAT good. their coffee is better than the other gourmet coffe chains in manila though... Quote Link to comment
Guest fhoryou Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 There is nothing special about starbucks any coffee shop can do the same. The only thing makes it different its that its markets itself so well people find it fantastic to go back despite the price for coffee is to expensive. If you look at it the same coffee beans and ingredients can be found in other small coffee shop. This why most cafe in the US complains about Star Bucks and other franchising coffee shops.

gorgonites Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 For me, starbucks is noticeably better than Seattle's Best. Plus, their pastries are just great. But then, I prefer Java Man any day. I just keep going back to Starbuck because its nearby and the baristas are very friendly. Quote Link to comment
dyakhardy Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Nothing much if you're not a coffee lover, but if you are, everything matters, from the way the coffee is brewed and prepared.  Coffee from all over the world is served so if you have that fine taste, you will be able to distinguish the difference, enjoy the aroma and the flavor.... other than that, if you go to starbucks because of mocha frap, then it's nothing special at all...

G T Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 had a discussion with a client about this and we agreed that being i starbucks is a statement that you're cool/chic.you're paying more for the brand rather than for the coffee . Quote Link to comment
teryus Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 ung prang pg andun k wla k s pilipinas!! ung prang wla k s 3rd world country!!! Quote Link to comment
canman Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 you have got a lot to learn dude. For most international brands you are actually paying more for higher quality. Large brands do have better buying power and thus can afford to spend more on quality. Smaller less known brands don't have buying power and thus less to spend on quality. If the two brands price the same then you are most likely getting better quality and value from the larger brand. why do you think smaller companies have trouble competing? I am not saying its always this way but in most cases it is. So for the case of Starbucks or McCafe you are actually getting more value for your money than most other brands if you really know how much is being spent on quality and on the coffee.  had a discussion with a client about this and we agreed that being i starbucks is a statement that you're cool/chic.you're paying more for the brand rather than for the coffee .

Jacques Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Starbucks may have a great line up of products but that's not their selling point. Starbucks hasn't innovated the coffee industry but just merely introduced a "lifestyle." People go to starbucks not mainly for their coffee but to be "seen" drinking and purchasing their coffee. In the Phils., it has been more of a status sysmbol and a lifestyle adoptation. As some people would've put it, Starbucks is a marketing firm. Quote Link to comment
agent_tom Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 i think its not about the coffee, but the place.. Quote Link to comment
