I have two very expensive cafes across the street from me and yet the best coffee in the entire neighborhood is only 1.25 at the Cuban Restaurant. No one can beat that man’s cafe con leche. His espresso machine is ancient and that stuff just hits different.

I brew my own coffee and is cheaper to buy a whole bag of beans than a cup.

I buy myself a grind bag of coffee in my local grocery store, and it's cheaper honestly than going out to buy a coffee from Starbucks or any establishments.

Drinking my Cold Coffee while watching this video just hit different

I’ve been subscribing coffee beans for years now and I always pay a year worth of coffee upfront. Every month I get new and fresh roasted beans by mail. Frankly, it’s the best way to get your coffee.

As someone who never drinks coffee or tea its wild how unconciously people develop their caffeine dependency and cant go a day without it. It's literally an addiction

[mrighetti]

People produce coffee beans to sell, not to stock. If the dollar goes up it will be a chance for those who aren't producing yet. There's a lot of families in Brazil who gave up from coffee decades ago and started producing sugar cane. Maybe it's time to produce coffee again.

Imagine spending $4.25 on a single cup of coffee every day when you can get a full container of ground coffee from the grocery store. The margins are insane for coffee shops, but you need a ton of customers to make any significant profits

[sttigertiger]

The demand for coffee is inelastic because coffee is a drug.

Coffee bring joys to me. Really thankful for that.🤗

The price of coffee bean has not changed over the last ten year in Vietnam.

Just get a Breville Express. You can get one for like $450. Its not the best but it's the best bang for the buck and effort. Youre not going to warm up your machine over night and pull 3, 4 shots to get that 1 great shot. Useless to get an expensive machine when youre just pulling dopio 3, 4 times a day

Thanks God I was born and raised in Java where isn’t hard to find affordable good coffee, even though most of the time I buy the beans from Sumatra. They can ship your order overseas and some of my foreign guest been purchased the product.

Education such as this piece are invaluable in clarifying global warming and it's effects on the average person.

Wow, that's expensive, if there was only a way to get it for 20 cents using other means...

Seen a lot of story about him, he must be honest and for people to talk this good about him

I literally have about 1.5 years worth of coffee hoarded. It’s enough for 2 cups per day for 4 people. I also have enough food, fuel, to, meds, etc. etc.... too. COVID-19 taught me something. Haven’t you learned yet???

4.50 for coffee? I pay $1.50 for a large cup at my local deli in nyc. Or I usually make it at home I can get 30-40 cups with the nestle
