    Price of the coffee is the smallest part of that cup of coffee though, probably less than a dollar. The vast majority of it is everything else from facilities to work and leeches cutting their profits

      They’re putting huge tariffs on Switzerland too. Which makes the grinders and other shit Starbucks uses to make coffee in its shops.

      However, I’m pretty sure roasted beans and ground coffee at the grocery store is just price fixed to the cost of a cup at the megacorp coffee shops at this point.

      Fuck this place. And fuck it’s coffee industry.

      Are we sure this person isn’t buying instant granules? At least to my Australian brain, a 25 fl oz cup of coffee (~739 mL in real units), is a patently insane size to buy from a cafe.

        Yes

        a 25 fl oz cup of coffee

        They aren’t buying that either; they are buying a 25 oz (~700g) container of coffee beans, most likely pre-ground
