Starbucks Corporation is an American coffee company and coffeehouse chain. Starbucks was founded in Seattle, Washington, in 1971. At the beginning of 2019, the company managed more than 30,000 locations around the world.
Starbucks has been described as the main representative of “second wave coffee”, a retrospectively indicated movement that promotes artisan coffee, especially dark roasted coffee. Since the 2000s, third-wave manufacturers have focused on producing quality hand-made coffee based on lighter roasts, and today Starbucks use automated espresso machines for efficiency and safety reasons.
