That's because Starbuck's stopped making coffee that was supposed to last for 20+ years, and is now trying to offer low-cost brands to consumers that couldn't afford the flagship line of coffees that Starbuck's is known for.
Unfortunately, the efforts to produce the low-cost brands has caused quality in all of their products to suffer as whole. Part of the demise is that Starbuck's now manufactures some of their coffee products in Alabama, and customers have been returning those products with all sorts of complaints!
Also, consumers have been demanding coffee with all of the latest technology, and thus Starbuck's coffee has become much too complicated to service and maintain!
Experts attribute the demise to Starbuck's latest merger with Folgers, whose failing products have tarnished the marque.
They are also under pressure by a budding crop of Asian coffee manufacturers that can produce a great reliable cup of Joe at low cost!
Personally, I'm fed up with the new Starbuck-Folgers line of coffees, and have reverted to only consider the simpler versions of old.
I only buy used Starbuck's coffee now!

That is a most excellent bit of ironic writing.
