Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

-Starbucks has built an honest brand and personal connection, serving great coffee everyday for everyone to enjoy.


I agree with this statement. Starbucks has built an honest brand and personal connection.

 Maybe almost people have visited there in korea and felt something different compare to other cafe. First is so many menu in Starbucks and can choice for personal style like amount of syrup. I think it is one of connection between person and cafe, and service.

 And also my one of friend worked in there as part timer. At that time, she said to me about manage system of cafe. I really surprised because that is so systematic for cleanliness and service.


[Discussion]

-How do you customize you coffee your coffee drinks?

In my case, I always order to add cream on the coffee when i drink latte menu. I have not realized a real taste of coffee, so i just drink for sweet taste or waking my self. Americano case also add more syrup such as hazel syrup. 


-When did you first try coffee? How was it? Did you enjoy it? 


When i was 14 years maybe, at that time is first time to drink coffee. Actually not drinking in cafe. just can coffee. I didn't want to drink coffee, but I had to awake up by my-self of test , so i drank.
