Starbucks coffee is a luxury item. For the price of 1 or 2 drinks from them, I can buy a small container of Arabica beans from Trader Joe's that will last me at least a couple of weeks. It's easy to spend over $1K per year on coffee from Starbucks. That's almost 2% of the median income of an American. That could buy you a high end pump-driven espresso machine with some money left over.
