Starbucks is a scam same as most of coffee places. They charge you for one/two cups of coffee same price as the whole bag you can have for a whole week or even longer. Amount of espresso is exactly the same in all the sizes (until you want double or triple), the differences is amount of milk or water they gave you, this poison syrups or whatever they throw there. I drink like 2-3 cups daily made in moka pot so I will be broke if I buy coffee at Starbucks with fancy cup :DDD

You know it! People who buy a daily starbucks or two could buy an entire coffee plantation after a few years!
What a racket! But hey, caveat emptor, it's not the responsibility of the seller to provide actual value, but to provide a product/service that the buyer is willing to pay for. If all the buyer wants is convenience or prestige and your product offers that and it's worth it for the buyer, have at it. If Starbucks was a "full service" coffee shop, maybe that could justify the the added cost. Do they tie and polish your shoes for you? Do they give you a back rub? That would make their coffee a lot more worth it!
I have more respect for the sellers who find bulk liquidation opportunities and shares the find with the community and makes a boat load of money in the process. That way he profits and the buyer also profits. And buyers come back for more. Rather be addicted to that than to overpriced coffee.
