When did $10 coffees become the new norm?
Make your own, numbnuts. You'll never buy that shit again unless you're out on a date.

A large black coffee is less than 2 dollars you dimwit fuckhead.

They don't charge 10 dollars for a coffee at starbucks, what the fuck are you talking about.

I got to Dean & DeLuca for a large iced coffee and an onion biali every morning, 7 days a week. $18 for my breakfast.
Why don't you have an adult job which can support good eating/drinking habits?
Don't you know you're paying for an artisan hipster experience, OP?
Also the sugar. It's like coke, so it should be priced like coke.
what's wrong? too poor?
Coffee is for faggots.
There are two reasons people drink coffee:
>You unironically decided to get addicted to caffeine
>You want to drink a milkshake in the morning while still being "socially acceptable"

I invested in a great nespresso machine. Buy sleeves on a monthly basis, and I would like to think that I am saving money and enjoying a good coffee at my convenience.

Why did Americans ruin coffee?
>>7206486
Americans didn't. Corporations did. Just like anywhere else. Shitty coffee is the norm here, though. Because people use caffeine as a drug, when in reality coffee can be great. It's not bitter shite that you need cream and SUGAR with. No one just take a few minutes to research the goddamn thing that they're consuming and figure it out.

Even if you're the most special snowflake getting your drink at one of the pricier coffee places it still doesn't quite cap out at $10 for a single "coffee".
>>7206498
You don't even need the "Americans" part in there. Corporations really have fucked over the population. I'm not even trying to spout hippy nonsense, they're really just being fucking terrible in every part of the world.

Where the fuck do you live that they're already charging $2.00 for a large coffee at Timmy Hohos?
2bh familia, I am getting sick of their shit though. Too inconsistent, and their coffee is really weak now. It does absolutely nothing to wake me up, and the taste is sub-par. I find myself going to Starbucks more frequently, where I can get a coffee about the same size (but with actual caffeine and flavour) for just more than $2.00.

I went to France this summer. Euro coffee really isn't that great either.
Plus there's no social aspect to coffee in France. You order a coffee, drink it in two sips, and then leave. The only thing Europeans actually sit down and enjoy is cigarettes.

>large black coffee is less than 2 dollars
That's terrible considering how much you can buy a pound of good coffee beans for.
>>7207261
I lived in France for two years and that is one frustrating thing. There are no cafes where you can order a big mug and sit down with a laptop or book to read or work.
I wouldn't say its not social though. The cafes are good for having an espresso with a friend, which french people probably do more than americans by far and a larger swath of society does this, but for meeting people and hanging out for a longer period of time like in american cafes is a no go.
One thing I find funny is that gas stations will little standing tables where people order a coffee and stand there to drink it. No 100oz to go cups.
>>7207274
oh and yea coffee quality there is pretty mediocre outside of american-styled cafes in Paris that are pretty similar to what you would find here in pretty much every city.
>>7207269
So you don't go to restaurants either? I'm glad you finally realized that businesses mark up their products and that you are also paying for the ambience, to get out of the house, and the convenience of having someone else do the prep and washing up away from your own home.
>tfw drinking pour over coffee made with single-origin Rwandan beans roasted by a local roaster and ground a minute before brewing
What's your excuse if you don't actually love coffee?
>>7207274
Now you understand why Americans are so fucking fat compared to the rest of the civilized world. Where as countries like France have learned moderation, Americans simply exist to consume. Everything is designed to consume as much as possible, even a simple coffee. It is accompanied by a comfy booth to lounge in, dim lighting, some indie jazz rock, and a variety of enriched pastries that are quickly digested, leaving the person feeling hungry shortly thereafter. Not to mention the coffee rips through you so fast that you feel dehydrated and empty, causing you to order (consume) more.
>>7207281
Yea but those are self consciously American style places that people go to for the American experience that starbucks is selling. Actual French places aren't like that. But yes because French cafes aren't meant for reading or working I sometimes found myself in McDonalds ordering a coffee to use the wifi to work.
>>7207283
I don't drink anything a nigger has touched, that's my excuse. What's yours you liberal faggot?
>>7207288
everyone is fat in france tho
>>7207294
Then get beans from Brazil? Or any other region besides East Africa?
>>7207295
Emphasis on *so* fucking fat. Americans are one of the most obese nations on Earth, and it's a direct result of their gluttonous lifestyle. That's not a value judgement, just an observation. Eat yourselves to death for all I care, I'm Canadian.
>>7207288
maybe but I've been in other countries, like Poland, where the cafe culture seems much more similar to America than France, which is a nice change of pace.
Idk most french cafes people pop into on the go and probably walked there. In America unless you live in NYC or a select other few places your life is literally confined to getting in your car getting out for as little as possible then getting back in and never walking anywhere so spending some time in the cafe makes more sense.
>>7207298
I only drink Civet coffee.
>>7207282
>ambience, to get out of the house, and the convenience of having someone else do the prep and washing up away from your own home.
It's a Starbucks, not a restaurant. I would certainly not overpay for the same quality of coffee that could be had elsewhere for less while not waiting in line forever.
>>7207295
that's not true at all. Maybe people there are fatter than they have been in the past but you've clearly never been to America if you honestly believe that. A combination of moderation (which americans have no sense of), an extraordinarily unrefined palette that leaves them complacent with eating fatty sugary foods for instant gratification, and very little passive exercise because they live in the suburbs and virtually never walk except to get in their cars is probably what makes americans so fat.
Also you probably can't discount smoking which Americans do much less of.
>>7207306
I pay good money to avoid the ambiance a Starbucks provides. Something about surrounding myself with ultra-douche hipsters in striped socks, tapping away on their iPads or reading some tacky Ayn Rand makes my stomach turn.
>>7207288
Cool story, but in my experience, it's actually pretty rare to see a fat person in Starbucks.
>>7207306
What starbucks has a really long line, and even if it does doesn't move extremely fast because of industrial-style work processes? Don't tell me you are from one of those eurocuck countries that has lines going out of the Abercrombie and Fitch?
For all of europeans supposed sophistication they sure do enjoy a lot of American's shittiest exports. When Burger King opened in France there were lines that were a kilometer long.
>>7207322
Sorry, europoors. You're Starbucks coffee is great. I didn't mean to upset you.
>>7207328
Yes. It's either Starbucks or Russ' Coffee which costs less, doesn't burn their beans unless asked to, is clean, lacks hipsters, has a large selection of beans, and makes good coffee for less, and is faster.
>>7207260
Are those burned into that dude's face?

I think they were just written on really hard with marker, and he washed away the ink. Was probably struggling and screaming so they had to press really hard to make the funny designs stay. I think he's cool with it though.
>>7206230
American excess and reliance on sugar to make things pallet-able.
Americans taste buds are so reliant on sugar that they cant ever appreciate things such as a well brewed cup of coffee.
Even in Canada a double double from timmies is the norm but it just masks the shit tier tim hortons coffee under tons of sugar.
Its sad senpai

You've convinced yourself that 500 dollars a month for coffee and pastries is a good habit.

I agree entirely but no country on earth embraced capitalism like America did. The United States has become a symbol of capitalism so when people say things like >>7206486

At least that's my take.

Let's say there's a place with a tip jar that's "open" where you could hypothetically reach in and take some of the money. Since that money is not directly related to purchases, is that technically stealing from the company?

Timmies has some of the worst coffee every brewed. The fact that it became a Canadian staple is a disgrace to our country.
>>7209801
It's not bait, I enjoy it and don't mind paying extra for it. It's a simple luxury.
Like travel for instance. I don't NEED to travel, but I do. It's nice to see how other people live and world heritage sites.

I've never tried coffee but I just got a blender for xmas with a coffee grinder attachment. What are some good coffee beans to try?
Did you also make the idiotic thread saying Starbucks charged more than local coffee shops?
>>7212389
Does this mean it's a blade grinder? (spinning blade chops the beans)
If so, it's not ideal for coffee, so I wouldn't spend a fortune on A+ beans or anything since you'll have trouble getting the best out of them. Store brand stuff should be fine, just try some different roasts. Maybe a medium roast first?
>>7206447
because its in such wide use.
How many edgy faggots say things like I'll murder you if you talk before I had my coffee?
Most coffee drinkers are just low-tier junkies at the core and/or need a stimulant to make it through the day without napping.
>drinking anything besides the free coffee your employer provides

They came home, and the coffee boom happened.

I don't care for k-cups, but I do appreciate the lengths they went to make everything so convenient.
