Totally off topic, I know, but why do you all still pay these obscene prices for joe? "Expensive" bagged coffee costs 10-15 USD and makes many more cups. It's easy to make in the office or at home, and you get to be your own quality control. If you need the free wifi I suppose it makes sense, but beyond that you could be paying significantly less for much better coffee.
- dagw 13y agoBecause it's not about the coffee, that's not what you're paying for. It's either about the convenience of getting a cup of coffee right now when I'm not at home, or about the experience of relaxing in a nice environment.
- guizzy 13y agoBecause it's a tradeoff between the hassle and the price of the equipment. To make good coffee yourself, you need to either pay a lot for a good machine, or have to use equipment that's more of a hassle to use and clean. Coffee from a shop, even the big chains, is good (not exceptional, but far from offensive), constant and there's no cleanup or setup.
