The quality of Starbucks ( & other 'Coffee Shops) was shown to me the first time I went into one of the stores....

"Hi, I'll have a Black Coffee please"

"Sorry we don't serve plain Coffee"

WTF!!! What kind of coffee shop doesn't sell old fashioned plain black coffee.
They darn well serve plain coffee here and it's darn good !
The reason a lot of people don't like it is that their brew is a LOT stronger than your typical American cup of coffee. It's a lot more bitter so people who are accustomed to your typical American style cup of coffee will be overpowered by the bitterness a lot. It all depends on what you're accustomed to. I for one LOVE a good strong tasting cup of coffee. I have a really nice pump action espresso/cappuchino machine here that I use to make shots of espresso all the time (The stronger the flavor, the better).
My one guilty pleasure for the "Girly" coffee is Starbuck's Caramel Macciatto. I can't get enough of those.
