A Fine Cup Of Coffee In An Odd Place For It
At Starbucks of all places.
I’m used to going to Flora Grubb out in Bayview for my Ritual Coffee from their awesome coffee machine. Works out well, since my wife drags me there to shop for interesting house plants. Even trade.
Now suddenly the same machine (a Clover, I guess) shows up in Starbucks. Kudos to Schultz and crew for remembering why people started going to Starbucks in the first place. (I even heard some electronic music in there for the first time in years – good to see less pandering to the mean.)
Let that be a lesson…while its easy to coast on reputation (as Bucky’s did for a long, long while), staying focused on what made you successful and continuing to innovate will keep you in front.
