Fair point on Cadbury but to make Costa's coffee any worse is going to be a bit of a challenge.

Starbucks is far worse. Everything they sell tastes burned. Coca-Costa could just follow their example.
I'd say Costa is worse than Starbucks.

Nero being the best of the UK chain coffee places.

Costa's coffee is not brilliant, but it doesn't taste like someone cooked up the tar left at the bottom of the roaster.
Costa is still dramatically better than Dunkin Donuts, for example.
I’d be curious to see the data upon which you base this false assertion.
Of course it’s ultimately my opinion, but Dunkin Donuts has awful coffee and always has. Anyone with an appreciation for coffee would likely agree.
I think that anyone with appreciate for coffee would understand certain coffee has a time and a place, even coffee from big chain coffee places or restaurants.
DD is coffee for people who don't like coffee. Almost everyone gets some kind of heavy sugar and dairy mixed drink. Basically candy coffee.
I wouldn't expect Dunkin Donuts to be any better at coffee than McCafe.
