Is it just my imagination or does the java from the Starbucks airport locations taste bad? Sbux is not my first or even second choice, but it comes in nicely in third place. It's everywhere and it's super quick. Maybe that is part of the problem?
On Sunday I had a large Americano with sugar-free hazelnut syrup from Caribou Coffee. It was delicious. The crema was visible and the flavor robust and complex. The next day I ordered the same beverage at the Starbucks in Midway airport. It was sub-standard in comparison. And then I remembered, as I always do, that the coffee always tastes different at the airport. "Different" meaning not good.
And of course, I could do without the extra 25% price mark-up!

I don't drink coffee but I
I don't drink coffee but I have to say I do love Starbucks. I always go for the Chai Latte and especially love a good cuppa when I'm waiting for a flight. I haven't noticed any difference in the taste or quality. The real challenge, I'm finding as I travel the world on business is finding healthy places to eat at airports.
