I enjoyed your take on Starbucks espresso and its place in the product life cycle. You made a good point about how product modifications like the blonde espresso can help extend the maturity stage. I agree that introducing new variations could reignite customer interest, especially with such a long-standing product. Your mention of pricing is also important, perceived value plays a big role in maintaining customer loyalty, particularly as the market grows more competitive and consumer expectations shift. It’ll be interesting to see how Starbucks continues evolving this core product while staying true to its brand.
