Ask HN: Would you pay monthly to work from coffee shops, with free coffee?
I'm thinking of a flat fee per month, giving you all-day access to any coffee shop within a network, including free coffee and dedicated tables.
Working from a coffee shop has been shown to boost productivity:

So then the flat fee would have to be cheaper than cost of having a huge cheap jug of ground coffee at home and cover for the number of days that would last.

- herbst 11y agoGood coffee is where you would get me. If you just place some Nespresso machines or think Starbucks beans are worth leaving my home, you are wrong.
- maxharris 11y agoI live in Seattle. I spend a lot of time in coffee shops. Unless you're offering espresso-based drinks (americanos & lattes), I'm not going to be interested.
