    Australians take coffee seriously, we weren't impressed by it's quality

    Us Aussies, we love coffee. Good coffee that is. Starbucks is sweetened dish waster. We can buy excellent coffee on just about every street corner in the cities and even the coffee shops in country towns has good coffee. Why would we want Starbucks?

    "Didn't give the Australian consumer an opportunity to develop an appetite for the Starbucks brand". You what now? What a load of crap - exactly what their coffee tastes like. We've got some of the best coffee in the world and they thought they could swan in with their swill.

    We like real coffee that’s why Starbucks failed

    The Global Financial Crisis had little or nothing to do with Starbucks failing here. Australia had the number one economy in the world during the GFC and was one of only a handful of countries that didn’t go into recession.
    The only people who went to the Starbucks that briefly opened in our area were teenage girls who bought it on their way to school thinking it was cool and trendy. Even they got fed up with the sickly sweet swill in the end.
    Even now, six years after they started expanding again they have nowhere near as many stores as they did before and there are at least 9 or 10 other coffee franchises with far more stores. McDonald’s McCafe, which originated in Melbourne before spreading to their overseas locations, has around 15 times as many outlets.

    Given a choice, Starbucks or a local privately operated coffee shop, there's not really any decision to make.

    Aussies won't accept second rate coffee; cue the funny comments section. 😂😂
    You should explore the growth of Australian cafes overseas, in the USA and across Europe. Taking the Australian approach to making and selling coffee and the culture that comes with it.

    Australia’s got some of the best coffee and baristas in the world. Starbucks is trash.

    One of the most common complaints I've heard from fellow Australians about Startbucks was that they resented being forced to learn new names for the size of coffee they wanted when ordering. It sounds like a small thing but when you've spent most of your life asking for a Medium cap and suddenly you have to remember what size a Grande is its annoying and it makes you feel like you are being dictated to. Aussies are not good with this. Plus their coffee tastes awful compared to what we've been used to, plus as they mentioned Starbucks was more expensive.
    Why would I pay more money for an insipid tasting coffee from a place that forced me to learn a new name for the size of my cup when I could walk into almost any coffee shop in Australia and ask for a medium cap with one and get exactly what my expectations were and at a lower cost?
    Thats why they failed.

    It’s lunchtime and I’ve already had over ten mugs today I live on it but I’ve never spent a dollar at Starbucks

      I spent a few dollars at Starbucks.
      If I could rewind my life this would be the one decision I would change.

    We're coffee snobs down here or caffine addicts 😆.
    For example McDonalads started McCafe in Australia.
    Starbucks coffee is terrible.
    There are Starbucks outlets here but only major locations.
    There are so many good cafes here we're spolit for choice and so we choose the best.
    The best is not starbucks.

    Until Starbucks start making drinkable coffee, then they'll never do any good here in Australia, because we don't like drinking dishwater.
    Our coffee is the best in the world, so why would we choose to drink an inferior product?
    I live in Mandurah WA, and when the 2 Starbucks opened here, it was extremely busy for the first week, until everyone in town had tasted it, threw it in the bin (like I did), then it was an empty shop from that time on lol. Don't quote me on this, but I think it was open, no longer than 3 months here. Yeah, my town hated the dishwater swill, yuck lol

  • @peggyaeschlimann4180

    Gloria Jeans is only marginally better than Starbucks, especially when even the service stations serve a better barrister coffee.

    Starbucks should have known that they would never succeed in OZ, we enjoy our small cafes. It's where we feel most relax n comfortable n its not like a fast food drive thru, just grab a cup n off we go. We sit n let the ambience take us over.

  • @viviennetaylor4185
    @viviennetaylor4185 Před měsícem

    The coffee culture is so strong in Oz that there are three barristers travelling to the Paris Olympics 2024 with our Olympic athletes!

    We tried Starbucks once and thought it was nothing special. More special were the 10 coffee shops in our local shops, and even our home coffee machine!

    Coffee is definitely NOT just coffee. I had starbucks in NY I think, the menu was crazy with all sorts of additives and I just wanted a flat white, or at least similar. When it arrived, in a take out cup! I took a sip and almost spat it out it was so wrong so I spoke to the woman behind the counter and told her I thought I'd accidentally been given a cup of the coffee dregs that was meant to be thrown out. She just looked at me and said it was proper coffee. I left it on the counter and never went into a starbucks again. It is so disgusting and I wonder if there's much coffee used at all. There's no good quality coffee used that's for sure and most seem to have syrups and other sickly sweet additives, so not coffee. Come to Melbourne if you want to see our coffee culture, we're as serious about our coffee as we are about our AFL, which is pretty seriously here.

    I had the misfortune of being brought a Starbucks coffee at Brisbane hospital last year because the person I was with didn't know I detest their coffee. Because it had been over ten years since the last time I had one I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately it was as vile and nasty as I remembered. Undrinkable!!!!!! They didn't learn a thing about the Aussie palate

    There is Starbucks in Australia but not a full building more like a stand but I wouldn’t know anything about coffee because I’m allergic to dairy and egg

  • @leavemealone344
    @leavemealone344 Před měsícem

    I'm a Melbourne person and I am very picky when it comes to coffee. I'm glad Starbucks didn't ''penetrate'' our market. At least let us have something that is our own, and if that's taste and an ability to snub off a major American coffee chain because we take our cofffee serious, then so be it! There's obviously history in Australia's development in coffee. Why should that be changed? So Starbucks has another market?
    I completely disagree that this didn't have a good ending. It had a very good ending.
    Australia chose authenticity over Starbucks.

    THE worst coffee ive ever tasted. Even worse in Europe

  • @user-qh1vh6wh3c
    @user-qh1vh6wh3c Před 3 měsíci

    I've tried Starbucks coffee and didn't like it at all. It didn't have the fullness and richness of Australian coffee. Australian coffee is definitely the best!

  • @Pb2xV
    @Pb2xV Před 2 měsíci

    Yeah, the one time I tried Starbucks in Australia?
    Not. Good.
    Milk was burnt, coffee was burnt and overextracted. Thoroughly unpleasant.
    Also, like the video said, you can get fantastic coffee made in a small local cafe that is sweet without sugar, milk perfectly balanced in temperature, plus you can get actual meals in a lot of them.
    Finally, like a good doctor or mechanic, once you find a good cafe, you stay loyal.
    So if you ever get over here, find a cafe with a lot of locals, then come back earlier the next day to beat the rush and try it.

  • @godamid4889

    Honestly, marketing your business on tourists wanting shit coffee is about the dumbest thing I have heard.
    Take the leap and make good coffee, convert the tourists and get some local business.

  • @davidmalarkey1302

    Starbucks took that typical American attitude of arrogance and failed miserably. So complete ignorance of the coffee culture in Australia and produced overpriced sweetened disgusting coffee. To a culture was based on quality not quantity and at a reasonable price point. I lived in Malaga and only the Americans coming off the cruise ships go to Starbucks.The locals go to their local coffee shop and drink quality coffee at a reasonable cost . I get a cafe solo for €1.30.Great coffee at a great price what's not to like. It's better than the over priced super sweet crap at Starbucks. My Spanish friend will not go to Starbucks they think the coffee is disgusting.
