HT: Have you uploaded a clip of you saying Ray yet? If not, get on it!

dk: While I agree with you on principle, that seems pretty standard, especially for a big city. Around here, regular coffee costs $2-3, and espresso drinks cost $3-5. Mochas and lattes tend to be the most expensive. And that's just at normal Peet's/Starbucks type places, not "artisan" coffee places which are even more expensive. How much do you pay for coffee?

Starbucks is a pretty bad place. The thing is that I totally can imagine to pay 4 Euros for coffee, but .... I mean it has to be good coffee and not water from washing the coffee machine, I want to have a porcelain cup, comfy seat, nice table, unlimited WiFi, cookie without to buy it extra and a relaxed atmosphere to my coffee. Starbucks fails at all this except WiFi.

Tee up the mockery. Speakpipe can’t access my microphone. Not clear to me how to fix this.

YES YES YES.

Atmosphere is not there, but McDos small coffee for 1 Euro here is totally good deal regarding the quality of coffee.

I'd like to see a study on why people actually buy a particular brand of coffee. In Canada#15 a significant portion of people buy Tim Horton's instead of a clearly superior brand just because Canadaomghockey#1

Do you have iOS11 or something else? Access to windows system with chrome/firefox? Or I am pretty sure it must exist some easy online voice recording for iPads.

Tim Horton's drinkers are the same people who drink Blue or Canadian.

I think you could say that re: just about any beverage sold at restaurants/cafes.

Lol obviously - but what makes coffee so unique? I mean it's a relatively cheap frequently purchased consumer good - but I'd be shocked if some business school somewhere didn't do case studies on the coffee market.

It's the most complex beverage on the planet from an organoleptic perspective.
