Top 10 Countries with the Most Starbucks

Also known as 'Top 10 Countries with the Most Disappointing Coffee' :P

I didn't even think of trying Italy, France, Belgium, Austria and some other highly caffeinated european countries. Turkey is the only one (a bit) surprising.

I think Italy just got its first Starbucks.

The first Italian Starbucks will open in Milan this summer. Such a disappointment...

roleybob, where is the sarcasm?

I go to Starbucks to get what I want, I don't give a damn if its' "good" or "bad" coffee, what I want is the thing that matters. Also I don't have to think if it's overpriced or not.

That doesn't sound very smart

What coffee? :D

There's nothing wrong with Starbucks' coffee 😊

Absolutely awful coffee. I've been twice. Once to try it and once when my wife dragged me in there.

Also known as "top 10 countries not full of pretentious full-of-crap coffee snobs." I saw plenty of Starbucks in France and plenty of people going there to get coffee.

So Paris is not in France then?

Thanks for chiming in, aforementioned snob. Also, what noodles said.

you do understand, there is more than one city in france

this is rarely much substance behind snobbery. It's as often as much about hating something popular as it is about liking something of superior quality.

Why are they snobs just because they don't like Starbucks? People have different tastes, it's not about being snobby. I don't care, because I don't like coffee in general.

Btw, I'm not surprised you chimed in again as soon as someone else didn't like/criticised something from your precious America. Seriously, it's like you have the need to defend the US on every. damn. quiz.

Disliking something popular doesn't make you a snob. Sticking your nose up at it because it is popular (and thus "low class"), while having an exaggerated, unwarranted, loudly professed love for some allegedly superior but less mainstream other product, while condemning those who like the product for their poor taste (such as accusing them of being less cultured tourists) does make you a snob. It's the bloody definition of the word.

.... because.... ... Europe is the mainstream popular product.... and.... the USA is the smaller, less popular, less well-known, alternative.... that... "cultured" snobby people say they like to be hip?

If you're going to try to parade your bigotry out under the guise of saying something clever it might help if you were actually clever.

of course there are. I was echoing redsplat's comment at the top of the page.

Disliking the brand, its products and its strategy does not necessarily make you a snob.

Moreover, people who go to Starbucks in Europe can be considered very snobbish too, happy to walk down the street with their 5€ cup of coffee as if they were in a TV Show.

Starbucks is very expensive here compared to what you can get in a bakery or a standard café. So I would not say it's a "popular mainstream product" (a cup of Starbucks latte is almost as expensive as a whole McDonalds combo - which is a better example of "popular mainstream product").

In coffee country (Starbucks HQ), where I live, the coffee snobs don't go to Starbucks. They go to some local coffee shop with small batch roasting and organic pastries made from local ingredients.

Starbucks isn't for coffee snobs any more, it is for people who don't know any better. With the advent of Fraps and Pumpkin Spice, Pecan Maple, and Sugar Sugar Lattes, the coffee snobs have abandoned it. Starbucks is largely a sugar delivery service and less and less about the coffee.

If you are responding to me you might have misread my comment. We are in agreement.

China is placed below Canada even though it has mores stores

Maybe add another minute? I could have got it if I had more time to think.

Try the name the countries with Coffee Beans here

The amount of Starbucks in Vancouver is astounding. You'll see more than one on every street corner.

well they started not far away in Seattle so that's not surprising.

Interestingly, one of the best examples of failed business attempts was Starbucks to Australia where they didn't do their research on the market. The post WW2 immigrants from Italy, France, Greece, UK, the US themselves and local Australians meant the market was already so competitive Starbucks in Australia collapsed really quickly.

A point of pride for our country, I think, at risk of being called a snob. I think Australia has one of the best developed coffee cultures in the world.

8/10. I forgot Turkey and Taiwan.

I forgot Turkey!
