I barely drink coffee at Starbucks now, but Starbucks was my gateway to espresso drinks and I assume it might be the same for many people too. I think my first espresso drink was a White Chocolate Mocha or something which didn't even taste like a coffee. I have been away from Starbucks for a while since I'm surrounded by really good coffee shops in Seattle. The only time I go to Starbucks is when I want to get Green Tea Latte (which is usually my 3 o'clock treat) and Clover coffee (which I will talk about below.)
I've bugged a friend who works at Starbucks Headquarters to let me in. A few weeks ago, he got me in and gave me a tour of the place. It made me want to learn more about Starbucks (both the good and bad), this infographic was the result.
