Ewan ko sayo Nini.. ang sarap ng cafe mocha, I know naman the taste of water and for me, hindi lasang ‘water with little mocha’ yung cafe mocha

By the way, san banda yung Starbucks sa Clark? will be vacationing there next week and hindi na ko familiar with Clark like 8 yrs ago when I last went there. TY

Hi Nini,

I’d like to forward your comment to Starbucks management. May I also let them know your email address?

Thank you,
Lorna

I have been a coffee drinker even before Starbucks came to the Philippines. However, in the US where I go at least once a year, I frequent a Starbucks store daily. I have always ordered cafe mocha but in the past year or so, I have noticed how bad it tastes now. I have complained again and again to the stores concerned and it seems nothing has been done about their tasteless coffee now.

In fact, just yesterday, I was at the Clark branch and I was able to drink only 1/4 of my cafe mocha which tasted more like water with a little mocha mix. I made my companion taste it, and he said its the worst he has tasted in coffee. didn’t complain anymore because I think, when Starbucks can cater to the Frappuccino drinkers, the coffee drinkers can’t say much anymore.

I frequent the Greenhills branches, some personally know me and have complained about the taste of their coffee (which is more water than coffee), have tried shifting to machiatto and it’s the same. I was informed that they now have a different machine of dispensing their coffee. And I told them that considering they probably have tasted their coffee, without the additional this and that, shouldn’t they adjust their coffee measurement to make it taste more like coffee?

And the coffee isn’t cheap and I have tasted better but I have stayed and been loyal to Starbucks since day 1. I get 5-6 planners when they start that promotion. And everyone asks for these planners from me, expecting me to finish filling up their cards. But if it doesn’t improve, then I don’t think I like to continue paying for coffee that tastes like water. I cannot even compare the cafe mocha that I kept ordering when I was in the US last March because it is no comparison, sad to say.

Thank you for having this chance to say my experience with Starbucks.

Nini

PS
Their green tea latte has now been tasteless too. So, what’s happening? Are they scrimping on the ingredients and we have to pay their price?

The other Starbucks branches I frequent leave their napkin dispenser and milk stuff on the counter. I guess there aren’t many thieves in these branches I go to. :p
