Wonder if they are suffering from 'radiation' as a result?
Does it matter, coffee in Sweden is crap anyway ...
By which standard do you make your judgement - USA?? If so that is NO criterium.
Really? There are more than between 1,500-1,600 Starbucks in Europe, 755 in the U.K. alone.
It would seem that many Europeans prefer U.S.A. coffee.
But those coffee machines you find in every office and school are dreadful. They make awful coffee no matter what kind of water goes into them. The only coffee that is as bad as this is the coffee you get at Pressbyrån or 7-11.
"Who says?" Errr, 1,500 to 1.600 Starbucks in Europe alone. How many customers in each one every day? You do the math. That's who says.
As for making a "fast buck?" Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Oh, I get it. You hate companies making a profit on providing a service and a product that people actually want to pay for.
Have you considered immigrating to North Korea? No one's making a "fast buck" on coffee there. Because there is no coffee. No food either for that matter. But at least no one's making a "fast buck."
