I have always contended that Starbucks, despite being a coffee shop, fails desperately at serving real coffee. Unless that syrupy goo they pump into your drink qualifies as coffee, we shouldn't call Starbucks a coffee shop.

Of course, I love the taste of Starbucks beverages, but I still prefer my own coffee at home. Recently I concocted my own iced coffee beverage, which I believe is comparable to Starbucks as far as taste goes. As far as price, I'd estimate that the ingredients themselves, in the amounts in which I use them, cost a total of 50 cents, if even that. Compare that to $3.25 for a caffe latte. (I'm over it. Really.)
