I enjoy quite a lot of Starbuck's drinks, on the basis that they're hot, caffeinated and usually very sugary. But they're not "coffee", you're right. I feel the same about instant coffee, actually, which I do really like, but which barely tastes like coffee to me. (It's a bit like 'strawberry flavour' in eg powdered milkshakes, which I also like, but tastes nothing like real strawberries.)
