Neither of the situation's you described is really best for your latte. Coffee is at it's peak 7 days from when it is roasted, at 14 days it is about half as good as peak. Quality starts to decline sharply after that. This is all assuming that you are still dealing with whole beans. Once ground, coffee loses it's peak in a matter of hours. So yes, as we all know, Starbucks coffee is most definitely sub-par.
What most people don't know is that coffee has a degassing time, when the carbon dioxide from the coffee is being released. This process requires (usually) 1 day for regular coffees, 2 days for espress. During this period of time, coffee is well below sub-par as well. So it seems that both Dunn and Starbucks are a bit misinformed.
On Starbucks to close all stores, including those in Dallas, for three hours on evening of February 26

No, sorry for the confusion, I was referring to the beans.
