I'm certain you probably have a much more sophisticated palate and can appreciate the flavor profiles of those coffee beans that are squirted out of some animals butthole in South America (Kopi Luwak beans).
To my Irish American potato-loving plain palate, Starbucks tastes like coffee that brewed 4 days ago and has been sitting on a hot plate until scorched prior to pouring. I can do without them and their purple/green Sigmund & the sea-monsters-haired baristas also.

You can get lighter roast coffee in Starbucks if you ask for it. Blonde or similar is less bitter than the usual Pike Place. In the darker roasts they burn the beans, which gives it the bitterness. Not many people can drink that black. A drop of cream makes a big difference.
Or just go to dunkin donuts and have smooth light roasted black coffee all day long. Not sure if the server hair color selection would be different, but maybe. I've never noticed.
I love both chains.
