Starbucks cannot compete in Australia

Starbucks has virtually left the land under saying they cannot compete due to the continent’s sophisticated coffee culture. They are closing all but 23 outlets after admitting defeat in their drive to hydrate thirsty Aussies.

The reason: Australia’s diverse population had already elevated the tastes of java lovers. Espressos and cappuccinos are common place in a land that has been brewing delicious blends since post-World War II migration upped the palates of the average Australian.

The sophistication of the Australian coffee aficionado is so strong they are turned off by one simple piece of the Starbucks formula – having teens prepare the cups. To an Australian it takes experience to be able to get the brew just right.

The chain will now be limited to Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne in an attempt to continue to brag about the intercontinental affection for its products.
