re: Why do liberals love Starbucks??

The irrational Starbucks hatred is a stupid line.

What is the draw?

-They are in high pedestrian-traffic areas
-A plethora of options from basic black to whatever sugar bomb sorority girls like
-Free Wifi and they typically don't mind you staying there for a while after you buy something
-They are in dominantly dense areas. Typically, the more dense the population, the more liberal they are

Seems pretty obvious why it is popular.

In the midwest, Caribou Coffee replaces Starbucks, but it's the same thing.

I only go there when it's the convenient option (inside of a Kroger or Target) or when there's free coffee available (Veteran's Day). There's a local chain that's across the street from the closest Starbucks to me, I'll go there if I'm in the mood for $3 coffee. DD and Love's are the two most frequent options I use when I don't have the time to make my own. With an Aeropress, electric kettle, and whichever bag Community Coffee I've picked up on sale it's not often I go anywhere for coffee. I've been casually looking on CL and Marketplace for a suitable old dresser or desk to build into a coffee bar for my bedroom anyway. Something I can plumb for a filtered water tap and power for an extra mini fridge I have collecting dust. Probably my kegerator and brewing setup next to it too...

Starbucks plain coffee is kind of shitty. Their espresso drinks are pretty good and the breakfast food isn't bad in a pinch

Everyone love Starbucks, dude. It's mainstream at this point.
