I hate gas station, 7-11 and McDonald's coffee. Sure, some restaurants do it right, but most don't and I don't go to a restaurant for a cup of to-go coffee. I like Starbuck's just fine. FWIW, when I lived in VA we had a Wegman's next to our house. Their coffee was the best grocery store coffee I've ever had. But there are none out here. And the two grocery stores I go to here both have Starbuck's inside them.
