By the price of two coffees you get a server connected to internet. When I started with this, the price of a server was the salary of an adult of medium class working during one year (and you got it without connection to internet, neither hosting facilities)... I wish the price of technology at home (devices, connections, etc), could go down the same way for everybody.

Where do you get two coffees for less than €2.99?!

  I can't speak for the OP, but where I live in Spain it's not uncommon for a standard coffee to be about... €1.2 to €1.5.

    Here in Portugal, a €0.70 coffee is somewhat expensive ;) That said, it should be noted that here in the Iberian Peninsula we just mean coffee, not buckets of water, cream, sugar and milk with some coffee mixed in, like those served at Starbucks.

  Go to a good English greasy spoon rather than a posh coffee shop.

    Those places usually sell you a cup of cheap supermarket instant coffee...

  Here in Portugal a cup coffee usually costs between 0.50€ and 1€

  It was just a symbolic reference. In Spain (where I did grow) as well as in The Netherlands (where I work now) you can. Of course, in both places, you can get more expensive ones too. Depends on the shop.

  Including the taxes, it works out to a bit under $5US. A Starbucks coffee is around $2.

    Taxes are already included. Prices are never given without taxes in Europe except in B2B where your customers don't pay VAT anyway.

      From the linked page: "All prices exclude VAT"

  In Italy of course! An espresso at your favourite bar[1] ranges between 0.80€ and 1.00€[2] [1] expensive exceptions apply, like in really touristic spots like Piazza San Marco in Venezia or similar [2] of course not served to the table but at the counter (or bench or stand or whatever you call it in english) like we do typically:)
