DI is located inside the University of San Ignacio de la Loyola, in the district la Molina, has a primary target is generally, students and teachers of USIL, and people that work, and live near that location. This can be classified into two categories, which are the following:…
If you can make it through a day without one cup of coffee I envy you greatly, but the reality is most of us who are either students or working class citizens survive on coffee, it is a daily practice. As an American living in New Zealand I will be using Bourdieu’s theory and his key concepts of habitus, field, and capital to examine America’s coffee drinking rituals. I will be looking closely at the way that social class influences coffee preferences and their associated meaning in relation to Starbucks and fair trade coffee. Bourdieu argues, “food and eating is much more than the process of bodily nourishment, it is an elaborate performance of…
I set out to find a place to begin my observations, not knowing what to fully expect, what I may find. So I decided to look around at what is close to my home that isn’t a place I frequent or have even visited at all. Then it came to me, the Starbucks that is only about a mile away is a perfect place for me to observe subjects that I would consider different from myself, seeing as how I consider such obscene prices for coffee ridiculous. Starbucks is a very popular chain of coffee vendors that describe their product as more about quality than what Americans are used to in typical coffee joints.…

Starbucks’ opened its first store in 1971, at Pike Place Market in Seattle, by three partners Zev Siegel, Jerry Baldwin and Gordon Bowker. Starbucks opened with the intent of being a gourmet coffee bean retailer and coffee equipment seller. The Starbucks name and logo came from two influences; a character named Starbuck in the classic book, Moby Dick, and a mining camp on the base of Mt. Rainier called Starbo. These two influences were combined to create Starbucks.…
Despite the popularity of Starbucks as a brand, you rarely see them run traditional advertisements. They promote their products more subtly by inviting their customers to enjoy a certain way of life and a certain set of values. In this report I would like to focus specifically on how Starbucks promotes this lifestyle through the design of their logo, the “The Way I See It” quotes—which are featured on the back of their cups—and how Starbucks fits in with the post-modernist identities of its clientele.…
During my summer break, I followed the same routine of visiting Starbucks. Every time I enter Starbucks, I am immediately encountered with the smell of roasted coffee, the sound of the blender, the barista wearing a green apron placing the ground espresso beans into the portafilter, the microwave going off and screaming “Beep Beep Beep!!”, the smell of the melted cheese in the mozzarella sandwich, the customers patiently waiting for their coffee order and that one customer still contemplating about what to order.…
According to this data the three highest scoring questions showed that 77% of the population surveyed would consider having lunch or dinner at Starbucks if offered. 83% of these individuals have confidence that the food served would be of good quality. Additionally 71% feel these foods would not deter them from purchasing coffee beverages. It is very important that when introducing new products the value and consumption of the current high quality coffee does not diminish. Starbucks believes the high score in these categories strengthens and confirms the hypothesis.…
Why Should I Be Nice To You?: Coffee Shops and the Politics of Good Service is the article about Emily Raine’s opinions about the coffee shop. She used many examples to get reader attention and understand for her how difficult when working in the coffee shop. There are different between work in the “service jobs” “find dining to cocktail waitressing to hip euro-bistro counter work” and the coffee shop. She thought she got pay too little for the long hours, the boring at work and the tricky person like the “manager”. She talks about the Starbuck coffee shop, “where cheerful young workers are displayed behind elevated counters”.…

Today, Starbucks is revered as the coffee shop of the Gods: lines go out the door, pictures of their lattes flood social media, and consumers make sure the logo is in plain sight wherever they take the cup. However, the coffee does not have a secret ingredient that makes it so special. In fact, the drinks are rather plain and just overloaded with sugar to create the illusion of flavor. However, if a millennial dared to say this out loud and stray from the fad, he would be labeled as eccentric and alienated from his peers. Lewis Carroll’s “The Lobster-Quadrille” and Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest satirize conformity through the fetishization of products of Empire, status, and traditional sexuality in order to characterize society…
A cup of Starbucks coffee can seem like a meaningless drink to most people in America but experts report that more than 110 million Americans drink it and total national consumption is more than 300 million cups a day (Douglas, 2009). We might think about getting a cup of coffee is not a big deal and do not really think much about in our daily lives. However, I can see strong a relationship with a cup of Starbucks coffee and the word “privilege.” We often do not think that drinking a cup of coffee that equals about $4 is a privilege; we choose to go out to Starbucks and buy a cup of coffee for $4 when we can make our own coffee at home for much cheaper price! I think this is a privilege that most Americans do not notice similar to McIntosh’s…
Starbucks is the coffee icon people either love it, hate it, need it, or you wouldn’t be caught dead there. Among the reasons to love: Starbucks gave us coffee language — or shamed us into it, depending on who you ask — turned the masses into espresso junkies and offers travelers a constant presence all over the world. Among the reasons to hate Starbucks: It’s making us fatter, turned espresso drinks into fast food and gave us its own coffee language.…
