Is it that Starbucks' coffee tastes too burnt?

Now that Starbucks has espoused a business view that Althouse believes to be worthy, will she no longer go to the little coffeeshops (you know the ones from her pictures) and now support Starbucks with her business?

If not, why?

Is it that Starbucks is too corporate? As in: a big firm that makes training videos to homogenize its employees in how to be racially conscious?

Is it that she prefers the charm of the local coffeehouses that cater to a primarily self-congratulatory white, educated and artsy crowd?

Is it that she prefers the charm of the local coffeehouses where the workers don't need such training videos because they are educated and artsy and provide a suitable educated and artsy atmosphere?

Is it that Starbucks' coffee tastes too burnt?

Because if it is just about the taste it seems one could summon the taste to drink it to support a company pursuing such a noble societal cause.
