Answers:
It is trendy and young and hip, so they say/think!. I prefer McDonald's myself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Basically, it's because Starbucks was the first company to provide good tasting coffee!. The worst thing that happened in the USA in the world of coffee was the post WW2 percolator!. People got used to drinking the overly acidic coffee and the mixture of weak flavored coffee beans that were produced!. Americans forgot what good coffee tasted like!. Starbucks came along with fresh roasted and ground coffee that had a good taste!. Supply and demand at work!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
We all have our vices!.
As coffee goes, they use the best beans and have excellent roasts!. So, if you're going to be addicted to coffee, at least pick a good one

Contrary to what others have said, Starbucks COFFEE is not much more than D&D or most coffee shops around where I live!. It's the Espresso drinks that are expensive!.
Secondary comment is that Starbucks uses Arabica beans (and so does D&D) but many grocery store brands use Robusto beans!. Robusto is as different to Arabica as Godiva chocolate is to Hersheys!. Robusto is far far cheaper on the commodities markets!. You get what you pay for!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Americans want to feel important and valuable!. Starbucks offers that!. It's seen as prestigious because it's about $4 for a cup of coffee!.
But also Americans are sleep deprived!. Coffee (caffeine) keeps us going!. We work longer and harder than most everyone else in the world!. (less vacation time, etc!.)
I can live without coffee but life is better with it!. You can't beat homemade coffee (ground beans yourself)!.
It is kind of ridiculous because plenty of people drink it all day long!.
edit: Starbucks justifies the high price by saying what the person above me said!. That is all marketing!. It's just coffee as you say!. I don't like Starbucks!. It's too strong for my taste!. I like Chock Full O' Nuts and Dunkin' Doughnuts coffee (beans)!. 2 cups in the morning and I'm good all day!.
edit again: I like the taste of coffee in the morning!. It does help me wake up and face the day in a good way!.
edit: Why are some people obsessed with tea!? I don't like tea myself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i don't drink starbucks because i don't think it's worth the money but i do start everyday with a cup of coffee!. i like the flavor of coffee and enjoy starting my day with it, that does not make me pathetic!. to obsess over why people drink coffee is kind of pathetic though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
