Yes, it's called marketing.

Although the caffeine is a good reason, it isn't what is in the coffee that keeps you coming back. It is where you get your coffee the majority of the time. The products you are comfortable using day to day (i.e. Aquafresh, Folgers, Charmin, Starbucks) are the products you buy because you know your marginal benefit of buying the next product. If you do try a different product you will be use to the distinct offerings of the initial product bought, which then, after sharply contrasting the two it leads you to think that the initial product is better than the secondary. Unless, of course, the second product holds more value to you than the first. This could also be considered a factor of branding.

they burn their beans before packaging.
"... I also represent the corporate interests of Starbucks brand beverages and recommend that you drink as much Christmas Blend as possible. We hand burn every bean until until they are completely over-roasted and ready for vacuum packing."
This makes them taste distinctive and you can only find that taste there. And no matter what anyone says, starbucks coffee certainly tastes different (even if you don't think better) than folgers or seattles best or whatever else you drink. Anyway this is the same reason that many people think it tastes strange at first if they are normal can coffee drinkers...but once you get used to it you look for that taste!
I am addicted too! I buy it for my house though; its cheaper than going and paying $3 a cup.

The addiction is called a marketing bandwagon and caffeine. I do not like Starbucks coffee. For my taste preference it is over roasted and tastes burnt. But I too enjoy barista prepared coffee. My usual drink is a 12oz, 4 shot breve, flat & hot.

If they did, then I'd be addicted and I'd like to drink it too, and I hate it. I'm a bona fide coffee addict, and I can't even go near Starbucks- it tastes worse than gas station coffee. Their flavored drinks are ok, but their coffee is repugnant.

Yes, the marketing is more addictive than the caffeine. Caffeine, you can get anywhere. That's why Starbucks has to market itself as a necessary luxury. Oh, you could live without it, if you HAD to, but who would WANT to? That's a "necessary luxury."

Well coffee in general is normally pretty addicting.

McDonald's has the best coffee, and it cost a lot less.
