- Weird History Food is giving you a pick-me-up with the History of Starbucks Coffee. Founders Jerry Baldwin, Gordon Bowker, and Zev Siegl sought to open up a coffee store. They knew they wanted it to reflect both the culture of the Northwest and the seafaring coffee traders who first brought coffee to the United States. What they didn't expect was how big Starbucks would become. Bring some creamer to this video.

"Friends don't let friends buy Starbucks" - said to me by the owner of the Blue Moose cafe in Morgantown, WV. Helps that there's more indie coffee shops and roasters near me than Starbucks.
Heard that quote from a friend of mine. But the coffeeshops around my area are still as or more expensive than Starbucks' beverages.
Damn thats pretentious as fk. I support small coffee shops and I want to open my own cafe soon. But I also love Starbucks.
I grew up in Boston and moved to Seattle...and I miss Dunkin' Donuts. Everyone on the west coast likes dark roast way too much. Tastes like boiled charcoal to me.
I grew up in Seattle and agree. My favorite local roaster up there was DiLanos. Starbucks was always bitter and required lots of chocolate and caramel to enjoy.
This is why I only get lattes at Starbucks. Need the dairy to cover the bitter. Next time I hit Dunks, I'll pour a sip out for you. 😥🤭
They dropped the Donuts. They just call it Dunkin' now.
History of Tim Hortons, please.
I use to work for Teavana and Starbucks came in and ruin the company. They tried to turn a tea company into a coffee company. When it didnt work they said let’s close all the stores. They only wanted the name. Company was started in Atlanta.
I loved teavana :(
Had Teavana once or twice when visiting U.S. it was good. I get boxed tea now from my cousin. Unfortunate they closed.
I watched a video of someone roasting fast food restaurants and when it came to Starbucks he said Starbucks is an ice cream parlor masquerading as a coffee shop
The actual punchline to the clip at 6:17 is that the barista tells Paul Rudd, "Look, dude, it's called a 'Venti' because it's Latin for 'twenty'" Twenty ounces - Veniti".
I'm glad the scene actually explained it, I had the same "really?" reaction he did when realized venti means "twenty"
Same @@DSMTheEditor
Also, "grande" is an italian word as well, other than spanish. it means "big" so..
As a non coffee drinker, i cant wrap my head around someone paying $6+ for a drink
As a coffee drinker, I can’t wrap my head around someone paying $6+ for a drink either!
as a non-paying customer i take a drink on that
@@DrMario_666I'd pay 100 dollars just to watch an ant eat a bale of hay🐜🍿
As a drinker of instant coffee I can't wrap my head around the obsession with coffee machines, pour overs and French presses. I ain't got time nor money for that and instant is perfectly fine.
@@Diwasho They taste different
He's right, the beans are the terrible. So many people I know don't like coffee because they think all coffee is like starbucks. I make them a good medium roast and their whole world changes.
Also, I absolutely loved Teavana and miss it dearly. For a while still could get the Youthberry at grocery stores, but they shelved that too.
I heard their beans are roasted to appeal to dairy drinks. I think it’s why most of their menu are drinks as a dairy base.
"What do I think about Starbucks?"
I like the idea of a franchise applying itself to 'signature' -style drinks and would like to try more.
I don't mean "I'd rather see bars become franchises" when I say that I really like the idea also being applied to alcoholic beverages and variety in beer.
Would love more high-end, handmade beer that you can tell a lot of love went into, just like the beer my old uncle'd make.
It can truly be some of the best beer you drink
How do I feel about Starbucks? I need my morning coffee before I answer questions like that...
How did Starbucks become so popular?
Me: Because people over hype it! 🤣😆
Ha!
But technically, it would have started with "European style sit-down cafes", competing with Superman III, ostensibly, being founded and then growing across the '80's and growing to over 2000 locations by the end of the 1990z after 'going public' and having shares 'traded', says the narrating.
Snoob effect, people think they are higher class if they buy this expensive coffee. It's even for people intersting who can't affort expensive cars or shoes, but they have enough money for an expensive coffee. Western brainwashed people.
"Higher temperature processing" does sound distinct, as well.
Salt n Straws owner was once the Starbucks store location specialist where she chose where locations would open.
Take a look at Salt n Straw, the resemblence in both shop and location targeting is neat.
(note: I worked for Salt n Straw)
At every Starbucks I've visited here in San Diego I've heard all kinds of cool music playing in the background.
They got big for the same reasons as Apple. Snobs.. Turned a food or phone into a status symbol.
absolutely the same target group
Too ubiquitous now to be a status symbol. It's ordinary now.
Which is hilarious to me because in Seattle itself a sit-down Starbucks (if it hasn't closed or just been turned into an app-order pickup location) is basically a day shelter for the homeless. The polar opposite of status.
funny cause its cheaper to get a coffee+cake combo at Starbucks here than at any "local" coffee shop...
I used to go to Starbucks every day for my iced latte with soy. It got too expensive. I was spending almost $200 a month on Starbucks alone. I haven’t been to one in years.
They made a coffee drink into a dessert
People turn all kinds of things into desserts that weren't made to be. Milk? Turned into ice cream. Bread? Use to be very hard and bland. It's all about perspective.
I love their chai. I would like a larger variety of fancy tea lattes since I can't have coffee.
It is Tazo concentrate
"Expensive milkshakes for grownups"
Oh good, I feel heard😂 Im not there for coffee, Im for a day-and-a-half caloric intake of chocolate and caramel syrup, sugar, and whipped cream
I have never drank at any Starbucks in my life. I don't drink coffee in general. And I don't hate them just never needed to go in. But still I like to learn the history. 🎉
? Starbucks is useful. Wifi and restrooms.
I miss Tazo tea at Starbucks, I also miss Teavana stores at the mall. I loved to try the samples, but I got into looseleaf tea as an adult and never got to purchase any.
Me too, Tazo was awesome. Teavanna sold awesome tea I wish Starbucks didn’t close them
Tazo peach tea was the besssst
Starbucks biggest issue is they have no food options. every local competitor has an easy time because they just need to put a kitchen in the back that servers food and fresh pastries and suddenly its a million times better the Starbucks.
Everyone always asks "Where did Starbucks get their name from?" But never "WHY did Statbucks get their name from?"
Amazing.
I drink my coffee black so the actual coffee has to taste good. I feel that if you put enough whippec cream, flavour shots, and sprinkles on anything it will taste good, or at least taste exactly like the flavour the customer is looking for. I agree with the previous poster that likened Starbucks to an ice cream parlour.
Yes. I like the sweet stuff.
@@thotslayer9914why you gotta be rude like that my guy? not necessary and doesn't look good on you.
Two things:
1. There's kind of a Starbucks Reserve in Seattle. It kind of looks like the one in the Palazzo Broggi mentioned in the video.
2. Howard Schultz retired in April 2023. Laxman Narasimhan is now the new CEO of Starbucks
Didn't know that.
Yum! Love Starbucks peppermint hot chocolate and a cookie. Great video
God, I LOVED chantico! I was in grad school and working full-time when it was on the menu. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I hardly ever went to Starbucks. But for that brief period, it was a must-stop place on my way from work to school. Yum!
When I was in Victoria BC Canada in 2012; there was literally a Starbucks across the street from another Starbucks. And yet to this day I’ve never been inside a Starbucks
That’s hilariously cringe
“Get the beaver tails”
A+ video!
LOVE IT!
4:25 I distinctly remember Vera becoming a cyborg on the film Superman III (1983).
Imagine parting ways with this guy and then he opens a clone chain that does BETTER than yours and then he buys you out.
The American Dream.
Love the narrator's emphasis on the word " Reserve" at 13:41
Can you do a Weird Food History on Peet’s Coffee
As someone who has heard of Peet preserving organic tissue remarkably, I second this.
Ironically, I've only been to Starbucks when traveling in Gdansk, Poland and Mumbai, India. At those Starbucks locations, the coffee is served in a very nice porcelain white coffee cup for those customers who are dining in. Those coffee cups are then washed and reused thousands of times, cutting back on the amount of garbage generated, and cutting down on the use of paper goods.
When they had a Dunkins in a remote village in Quebec, they had ceramic mugs too. And soup! 😳 They closed a few years ago and it's now a Tim Horton's. Not shocked. 😁
Which totally makes up for all the airplane fuel you burned getting there😂
@@MarianneKat I mean, we drive there every year because my in-laws live there, but do go off on assumptions. It's an 8 hour drive from Massachusetts.🤷♀️😘
every starbucks in europe is like that
Thankfully, there aren't many in Australia. They're mostly where tourists are. You should do a clip on Australian coffee. From the flat white to a macchiato. Even Maccas changed their beans to not burnt, they do pretty well.
I used to feel indifferent about Starbucks until I studied abroad in Australia where I discovered what actual coffee and coffee culture was like. Ughhh so much more better options for sure!
Last time I was in Seattle I was waiting to cross Pine Street when a group of women on a power walk passed by, one was complaining about Starbucks, refused to give them her money and then said, “I only drink Seattle’s Best.” This was right after Starbucks BOUGHT Seattle’s Best. So much for not giving them your money. (They’ve since sold the brand to Nestle.)
Ha.
bringing you the authentic Italian lifestyle of coffee-celebration- expect everyone is a Gen-Z influencer
Whoever wrote and produced this video deserves a raise. Geez, this was funny.
Ugh. Starbucks roasts their coffee too long. It's some pretty bad stuff.
I did the math once. I make a better cup of coffee for 1/10th the price. (Use a Bunn Coffee maker...)
Not really a coffee drinker myself but I feel like a 'cool story bro' is in order anyway
@@BeyondDaX Nah, pretty anyone that knows what they're doing (which isn't much) can make better coffee than Starbucks
That video of the snooty professional coffee taster. Had rated McDonald's coffee better than Starbucks. Starbucks was rated the Lowest. (Except for the pumpkin spice latte).
Sad thing is I agree...their coffee tastes like asphalt. And some of their flavoring, has a cough syrup background taste to it.
Last time I had Starbucks, I had to throw it away. Because it tasted like someone made liquid ash, and sweetened it with vanilla flavored Robitussin. I couldn't finish it.
I have a 1948-74 Pyrex coffee percolator, the 6-cup version. I also use it for tea. One day, I was about to boil tea water, and thought "Wait...coffee is also dust..." and cooked mint tea in the Clear Bucket instead. The tea was excellent, and it made the whole house smell like mint.
I live in a small town with fewer than 5,000 people. We have three Starbucks and no local coffee shops. It’s your only option besides drive thru fast food coffee. I just make mine at home.
I miss Chantico. A true delicacy. Might have to pop on over to Milan for one.
9:23 - that’s a nice spin on it.
But I think the real reason though is because Starbucks is so big that they need a LOT of beans. And because those beans take time to be shipped worldwide, you have to get as much moisture as possible out of them….nobody likes moldy coffee beans.
So they scorch them, burn the hell out of them….then market it as “earthy burned wood” flavor.
1:32 "Call me Ismael" is the opening line of the novel Moby Dick and probably the most famous opening line in literary history.
I remember my high school English teacher talking about that in English class.
There is also a philosophical book called Ismael by Daniel Quinn (1992).
1:15 I would love it if those types of cars were produced again!
They are so cool!
yea, but if they woould somehow be at least as safe as modern ones...for me, I love those cars from 1920s-1930s
@@richardgalbavy7103 Yes, if they could modify them to be safer...
Ah yes, the Safety Religion. Please tell me more about car safety while you let your stupid kids do whatever they want, so when they get driver's licenses, they can bang around like GTA5 and terrorize everyone they meet.
Reminds me of McDonald's...the family members of the people who founded Starbucks have to get sick seeing these stores everywhere.
I started going to Starbucks back in 2001 i gotta say it was better back then! I remember when they had the big loud espresso machines, it seems like when they stopped using those the quality dropped! I still go 22 years later but i remember the glory days
Thanks for this! 🧜🏽♀ #WeirdHistoryFood #Coffee #Starbucks
Omg they used the starbeez gurl LOL
I need Valencia orange and blueberry to come back
good video
I just go there for their Frappes
I gave 7 years of my life working for bucks. Barista lol. I remember the shutdowns. My current store then shut down but most of us were spread onto other locations. So I STILL had my job then lol. I forgot about the moment of silence crap😂
Coffee flavoured milk is awfully expensive.
I should try their shakes
Okay... Never knew of the "Reserve" locations, but I'm willing to give that a chance. Despite my being anti-Starbucks, this was a very entertaining watch.
Schultz saw the future and he tried to take the guys with him but they didn't want to come.
I live in a relatively small town in ohio.. we have FIVE Starbucks! Its wild lol
Love how you pronounce "Reserve"
🤣
I buy and brew Peets at home. The Big Bang roast is perfect. The closest Peets coffeehouse is a 45 minute drive to nothing else to doville. I've made that trip twice now just to have a latte made. If I had the money, I'd franchise one. And I'm deep in Dunkin country. 😭😂
0:42: ☕ Starbucks, the global coffee empire, started as a small coffee store in Pike Place Market, Seattle, and grew rapidly over the years.
2:58: ☕ Starbucks is founded and Howard Schultz joins the company as head of marketing.
5:45: 📚 Starbucks experienced significant growth and introduced several brand defining changes under Schultz's leadership in the 1990s.
8:59: 🌟 Starbucks turned its fortunes around with the launch of its Rewards program and the introduction of a uniform dark roast coffee.
11:48: 🌟 Starbucks' short-lived Teavana product line is highly revered, with all Teavana Tea Houses closing by 2018.
Recap by Tammy AI
I kind of gave up on Starbucks after local shops started opening in my area that had better coffee. 🤷🏻♀️ But I do think Louis Black’s comedy bit about “a Starbucks across from a Starbucks” (the end of the world) is the funniest thing ever 😂
Before the pandemic, i hated how i gotta add my own sugar and cream after paying too much for a basic Starbucks coffee. Now they at least do that
Imagine if it had been named Stubb’s or Queequeg’s or Ahab’s, or Nameless-Cabin-Boy-Who-Goes-Insane’s
As a coffee drinker who prefers lungo I was thrilled to go to Starbucks for the first time as where I am from there are no starbucks. Let's just say that was my first and last time. The coffee was so horrible, it instantly made me think that I could have utilised those bills much more efficiently. Yuck!
Can you make a video all about the Italian Beef sandwich from Chicago please?
Was curious about some of their promotional beverages. Has anyone tasted: Cherries Jubilee Mocha, Dark Barrel Latte, and Zombie Frappucino?
Please do a video on the Nalley Foods company from Tacoma WA.
What's that? Sounds like a region only brand
Starbucks use to sell fresh soda for awhile and also alcohol at certain locations like in Huntington Beach, but it didn’t last long! Was such a bummer. I heard they recently tested doing boba, but I don’t think that made it far.
Do one of the San Antonio restaurant Bill Millers
what an eye opener! Some ultra slick business moves sure can make a lot of money from caffeine addicts.
Do Chipotle next
starbucks is the elixir of the gods and i absolutely NEED IT 😍
The Milan photo is from Sweden, the royal Guard
I live in Seattle and most of the people I know go to their local coffee stand/cafe and only get starbucks if they are in an area they don’t know and really need caffeine fast.
That or they are studying in a Barnes and Nobel and feel bad just staying there for hrs so they get a drink.
From what I've seen,
nobody misses the unicorn frappe....
What's the background song title? It's awesome..
They bummed out in Australia
Customisation, flavoured sweet drinks, a "third place", and branding/status symbol
Starbuck is that guy from Battlestar Galactica innit?
I am a Dunkin's Man...always have been, always will be. I did once date a Starbucks Barista (miss you Kayla) and that's as close as I've gotten to Starbucks...they DO have a rather chill environment though, as least they did back in the day.
I went to Starbucks once just so I could say I did. I have no plans of going back.
Can you do history of Kinder chocolate 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Ooo i know this one 😊
Caribou Coffee all the way!
I personally wish my area had more REAL coffee shops with ample choices to pick from. I feel forced to go to Starbucks and I don't like them anymore.
Well target already did the option of delivering Starbucks while you wait for your drive up order 😂
did you know I watched till 2009
Well… I liked their cranberry bliss bars. 🤷🏻♀️
They shuttered the Starbucks reserve. You can only find 5 in the US. 3 of which are in NYC
Could you do a similar video on Jersey Mike’s?
Is it bigger than Subway now?
@@BeyondDaX Thanks to Jared Fogle’s arrest, probably
I worked a block away from a Starbucks Reserve. The "fancy" drinks were...fine? I didn't love waiting an extra fifteen minutes for their overpriced coffee concierge shenanigans as much as I liked walking with friends outside during long days at the office, before the 'vid. You also can't use real mugs any longer, only takeaway whether you dine in or leave. Schultz is a d-bag, union-busting hoser brought back specifically to squelch union activity. (And as of 29 Sep '23 there is still DAILY Starbucks NLRB news, so this WHF segment isn't entirely accurate.) Before I moved, I switched away from Starbucks to the many, many, mannnyyyy local options and also just making it in whatever way felt fine at home. I now live in a small town with no fewer than four options for indie coffee in a 2-mile radius if home-brewed isn't cutting it. No regrets. Starbies can kiss their burned beans' butts.
oh no- did he really mention the Pumpkin-Spice Latte -- Meatcanyon flashbacks
I used to have Starbucks all the time at a nearby Target store when I lived in Omaha, Nebraska.
🤩
For a man who loves his puns, why wasn't it "love at first sip" instead of bite? 😂
It was only in aus for a few years in the early 2000s
Their vanilla sweet cream cold brew and espressos are my favorite not a fan of the hot coffee there just cold coffees
The darker the roast, the less caffeine…
Starbucks of here to stay up till the morjnung
Can you please do Mos Burger
@weirdhistoryfood My suggestion: Make a video on the History of Amy's.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it tastes like charcoal. I prefer tea anyway, from the rough sawdust in a bag to single estate direct from India- all far better than some burnt bean
