When I first moved into this apartment 12 years ago, a large latte at the Peet's across the alley was $3.85. Today it is $5.15.
It blows my mind that they would charge the first price even....it's only a fucking coffee.
Back when I was a white collar coffee aficionado I learned quickly about Starbucks. You want a shot of espresso? $5. I was in Italy and these kiosks and coffee bars were everywhere. A double shot of espresso was around $2 US. Make it yourself.
yeah definitely...you can get a half decent espresso machine nowadays for not huge money....thing would have paid for itself within 6 months.

If I go to one of the local deli's it isn't too expensive..can get a double espresso for about £1.50.

I've been hooked on cold coffee since last summer. My buddy Fiyah sent me a cold coffee maker from amazon. It took awhile to get the blend right but that thing has saved me al0t of money and it's good shit.
That being said, Speedway has so many different special coffee flavors and blends and frappes and flavored creamers and shit that you can pretty much make anything comparable to Starbucks or whatever. Any size for a buck. And you don't have to give them your name or let some disgruntled SJW that thinks the name barista entitles them to be making $20/hour have their hands on your shit.

The Scottish Highlands, the Atlas Mountains, and the Appalachians are all the same mountain range, in the Permian period, they were the Central Pangean Mountains.

I would have thought more, when you consider that a major rock band has a crew of around 100 people, then add guests, journalists, and venue staff, you're talking 100-150 people over 6 months, that works out to what maybe 8 bottle a month per person likely less.

Just the band members. You`re right though on the drunk staff and other hangers on

That works out to four bottles per band member per day, I assume they were sharing with some groupies
