  Cold foam inflation rate is out of control!

  Why what? Nothing in this world is free. $1.45 - cold foam << That foam isn't going to make itself, so you have to charge to pay the employee making it. The equipment that makes it doesn't run on wishes, so you gotta charge for the electricity to run the equipment. The equipment doesn't clean itself, so you have to help pay for the cleaning fee since it was dirtied at your request. $0.80 - syrup << Just like anything thing like beer/shots/etc. Things cost money when you buy in a retail with mark up. It's not rocket science. Ever paid for a shot? Of course you can buy a bottle for the same price as a round of shots for you and your mates. As a side note, in all of those movies where someone is at the bar and then tells the bartender to "leave the bottle". Like, is that something you can actually do, and if so, what's the tab on that going to run? Of course, you're not supposed to think about the movie like that. I just can't help it.

    Why what? Why would you drink this?

      that's an entirely different discussion. i can't stand drinking coffee. it tastes like someone took a bean, roasted it, soaked it in hot water, then strained it through a filter. nothing I just said even remotely sounds enticing. now, grind those beans up and sprinkle on some tiramisu, and I'm all about it.

    Modern machines, especially those that Starbucks uses, effectively does make foam (and the shots) with no intervention by the baristas save refilling the milk. Yes, there's a cost to the machine, but latte prices are completely divorced from their costs.
