You're paying for the brand and for consistency. People love Starbucks because they know what there getting, you can order a Starbucks drink in Colorado and have it taste the same as if you ordered it in Tokyo or Prague etc. (so I've heard)

You can also end up with something that's pretty much a milkshake with caffeine but instead of walking around looking like a fatty with your DQ blizzard cup you can be cute and trendy with your Starbucks cup.

Funnily, ALDI/Trader Joes also roasts and sells coffee (they are only testing selling of freshly brewed coffee in some locations). They’re everywhere, and their quality is actually very high.

It will be interesting to see how Starbucks is going to react when a big player like ALDI is going to take their territory.
