Reply to comment by CletusDSpuckler in ELI5- Given the average cost of a cup of coffee is marked up about ~80%, why hasn’t a company come in and charge significantly less to take a greater share of the market? by Educational_Sir3783

With Starbucks they’re over brewing typically because their customers don’t like the taste of coffee so much but coffee flavored cream and sugar. When you’re drinking just black coffee it’s not for you.

Although their nitro is the way to go if you like smooth black coffee.

Yeah, "Charbucks" dark roast espressos are good for standing up to lattes and other drinks that are 90% milk. Real espresso aficionados/3rd Wave coffee snobs tend to prefer lighter roasts.
