Learned something new about Starbucks coffee

The reason Starbucks doesn’t sell Colombian coffee is because Starbucks didn’t want Juan Valdez’s image or ™ of the national coffee branding on any Starbucks packaging or to even be mentioned. And the Colombian gov wouldn’t remove it.


Crazy stuff.

That's why you need to own a machine yourself Chewey. Once you dial things in, you'll never drink Starbucks low-end over-priced swill again (unless you're seriously desperate, I'd rather go without tho).

Not sure where you got this from, but Starbucks has been selling Colombian coffee and importing beans from Colombia since the beginning.

It would be a very cool story if it was true.

I'm absolutely SHOCKED that Facebook has stuff on it that isn't true, and equally shocked that you are a member. Heartbroken, actually.
