As a coffee lover, I absolutely despise anything that has that logo on it. Everything they sell is just mediocre and overpriced. They sell coffee pods and other coffee related products to use on nespresso machines and etc, and everything is just mediocre at best. There is not a single product from this brand that makes me prefer it over literally any other brand. It tasted the same as the extremely cheap white label coffee pods, but more expensive than the premium actually good options. It's a hard pass for me. I, like many others, avoid that logo like a plague. If starbucks disappeared tomorrow, the whole world would just be "oh no, anyway" and make zero difference. Most people will even reach the end of the month with more money in the pocket and zero quality of life decreases.
Not to mention that this is like a fast food for coffee. They overload sugars on every drink even if you ask it with low sugar. Their syrups are extremely sweet already. Everything tastes so plasticky and fake. Fck them.
The Starbucks Nespresso pods are more expensive and taste worse than just about any other options, even the fancy ones from Nespresso are usually cheaper.
