Easy. Just make your own coffee. It's cheap. Start with an Aero Press, a cheap grinder and a decent water cooker. Nice beans. Done.
Is a water cooker different than a kettle? Serious question from someone who just started non-drip coffee.
A venti 591ml caffe latte from Starbucks is about 8.08$cdn before tax or tip. I don't go to Starbuck much anymore.
I'm leaving that tip option blank and putting a dollar in the tip jar lol
2022 is not that long ago lol.
Surprisingly my shitty Starbucks lattes are still around 5-6 dollars.
Which local coffee shop? By now there's probably 8 of them, all selling what amounts to something a well built professional coffee vending machine could produce.
Imagine a coffee vending machine with all the same ingredients that they use, which isn't much really just different coffees and syrups and milks and stuff, and has the fancy coffee making gear inside to automate the whole process, even the fancy pour designs people like.
That really doesn't sound difficult at all compared to funding an entire shop, with rent, staff, electricity for everything, all those consumables, etc etc.
I'm not saying do away with coffee shops, I'm just saying that instead of having one around every street corner, maybe replace some of them with awesome vending machines, and leave those spaces free for a non-profit community space or something :-D
