> Coffee is practically free
I ran a cafe for three years (the slashRoot tech collective in New Paltz - maybe some NYC folk here came there?), and the cost of coffee (and milk) for us was non-negligible.
We were paying $8/pound for one locally roasted variety; $9 for another.
We also served entirely local or organic milk.
Our rent was $1950 plus utilities.
High-end coffee joints pay a fair bit for ingredients.
- blackguardx 10y agoI never saw your place when I hung out in New Paltz (almost every weekend in 2009-2010), but it would have been cool to see a tech scene get established. I miss that city.
- jMyles 10y agoYeah, New Paltz is a really special place. We were open from 2010-2012.
- nikanj 10y agoHow many servings are in a pound?
- jMyles 10y agoIt really depends on what drinks you're making - maybe as few as 15 (big fancy lattes with 2 huge pulls of espresso), maybe as many as 25 (weak auto drip).
