@bloombergbusiness: Coca-Cola’s acquisition of Costa Coffee was supposed to spread the brand's self-serve espresso machines and drinks around the world. Instead, Coke got burned. Kristina Peterson reports. #coffee #food #business #foodie
I’m from the UK. I wouldn’t rush anywhere for a Costa coffee.

Despite what people say, Costa is very popular in the UK & Ireland, I would argue that it could be considered the primary “third space” cafe chain for boomers & the elderly, it sounds like whoever Coca Cola have put in charge of bringing Costs to the US has done a terrible job.

As someone from the uk and who had worked for them, Costa was much better in every aspect before coke took over ever since it’s gone down hill

They’re everywhere here in Ireland and I have no idea how they make money. They are exceptionally expensive and the coffee is absolutely muck.

They need to invest, also tell the Americans how much stronger it is caffeine wise, compared to starbees.

Project Polaris :
Coca-Cola thought it could take a strong UK coffee brand and scale it globally using the same distribution machine that sells soda everywhere. But coffee isn’t just another beverage category — it’s habit, place, culture and brand identity. Scale can amplify demand. It can’t manufacture it.
