Simon, As with all things, it depends on what one likes. My parents don't like Starbucks because they are used to drinking very weak Maxwell house. (Yuck!) I have friends who are quite discerning coffee drinkers who also don't like it because they prefer lighter roasts, different roasting methods etc.
Personally, I think darker roasted coffee is better in lattes and mochas--the latter being my beverage of choice. In my opinion, for a Mocha to be good, you have to be able to taste both the chocolate and the coffee. Very few places get that balance right, and Starbucks does. so yes, I like going there. But there are other privately run coffee shops that I like as well or better, so I certainly wouldn't say that Starbucks is the best coffee in the U.S. And, just to make this somehow Apple-related, they have done a very good job of making the IOS app accessible.
