What Starbucks did was exist. Yes, it is crap coffee. You know who agrees? Baristas who used to work at Starbucks. They left and formed their own little shops. And they started tinkering with espresso machines. As a result of that, espresso has improved dramatically over the last 20 years. It's more consistent and avoids extracting undesirable flavors.

That's still an America only thing. Baristas in Italy had their own little shops long before Starbucks existed, they knew how to make good coffee all along, they didn't need American Corporations to tell them how to barista.
