Price of a cup of coffee?

[T. MIKE SMITH]

Dating myself but probably the last time I had a cup away from home it was .25 with pretty much unlimited refills at the local cafe in town. A lot of the local temp jobs were there, like construction or farm work. So it was always full of people. Most ate there while they took up a seat and then shot the bull for a bit.

I can’t get excited about these designer coffees. I’m just a black coffee kind of guy.

Ya when I started working at Humpty Dumpty in '73 - coffee was a nickel- smokes were a dime. The good ole days are gone forever.

Strange I would pay a lot more in ND, SD & Mn than I would in HI, Ca or Az. Particularly in the winter!

Could be there's less people there?

The next morning, all the bags looked like balloons.
A duck duck go search revealed that whole coffee beans outgas constantly which slowly takes the flavor with it.

...that's why the coffee bags have that circular one-way pressure relief disc. My coffee in those bags don't last long enough to lose the flavor.

Yes!!! And you can buy those same coffee bags, with the one way pressure relief valve, and store your coffee in those. It helps.

Over 2.50 most of the time I buy it. Kum N Go (named in honor of our current VP) has the best coffee around. Money well spent, and I don't care if they're liberal or conservative.

I went to a Starbucks several years ago. Asked for a plain cup of coffee, and got stared at. I'm still not sure what I bought that day.

I just got back from a road trip from Tulsa to Seattle and back. Micky D's coffee was $1.79 for a large at most stops. Used Starbucks a few times when I was on expense account. Terrible coffee, burnt.

My son bought me a big Yeti cup a couple birthdays ago. I use it most mornings and I usually end up with enough in it to last all day. Which I’m glad considering the prices now. But the reality is I sound like an old poop griping about how high stuff is.

Agree, Starbux coffee is awful, rather buy MickD's. Cheaper and better. Bought some iced tea from Starbux and sucked also.
