- badpun 4y agoYou can't lose money making and selling coffee. Coffe literally costs $0.05-$0.2 to make.

- reducesuffering 4y agoNo way. My home coffee is 14 oz. for $5 and lasts like 25 cups. That's $0.20 a cup. At McDonald's scale, their filter cost is 0 and I'm sure their coffee bean price is half of that, at $0.10 a cup. They're also really automated. If you've ever seen how automatic their soft drinks get poured in the drive-thru, it's like a factory.
