Do you want a cup of coffee?
by Zuzana Valkova

Some people love it. Some don't. I'm speaking about the biggest chain of coffee stores in the world. Starbucks. This company was based in Seattle and it became the most popular brand of coffee in the US and in the rest of the world too. But why it's so popular? What do they have, what the others don't? So they can offer you coffees, cappuccinos, lates, frappuccinos, you can have it hot or iced, with regular milk, skin milk, organic or soya milk, with any flavor you wish. And if you like the whip cream, there you go. This is philosophy of Starbucks, you can choose your favorite drink from their offer, but also you can ask for something special and they will make it for you. No problem. So maybe this is the reason why so many people love it. Plus you can buy something to eat. If you want sandwich, hot or cold, you can have many kinds. You can order also something sweet like a muffin or ice cream. And what about those who hate these stores? Starbucks was accused by many activists groups, which are fighting against globalization and imperialism. In their opinion Starbucks is the perfect example of American imperialism in the world; they criticize their fair trading and company rules. Starbucks also causes many problems which have a big environmental impact. So who is right? I think there will be always fight between one and the other side. And there will be always people who will go there to buy the products. Because its just a coffee for them.
