Starbucks should know that the K-cup technology will not do their coffee any justice as it makes a weak cup and it might even hurt their brand due to watered down taste. I hope whatever machine they design, that it's an improvement over the Keurig and makes a good cup of coffee. Too bad it didn't work out with Tassimo, Starbucks was fantastic through that machine.
I would also like to see Starbucks make a machine that makes the milk coffeehouse drinks, too.
