How much would you pay for a cup of coffee? - Page 3

The pay what you think its worth model is pretty common in farm stands and is generally assumed to provide more jingle.

I have to admit there have been times when I would be willing to pay --- quite a LOT for a cup of coffee.

But on an ordinary day at an ordinary coffee shop--no.

Unless I had a religious experience directly related to the coffee I was drinking, I'd pay 95 cents to 1.50 for a cup of coffee. I drink it black, so they'll save on the milk and sugar aspect of my bevvy.

The best coffee I've ever had was in seattle. I doubt you could get shitty coffee in seattle any sooner than you could get shitty beer in germany. So that just raises the bar for them, vis a vis blowing my coffee socks off.

Hell, even the Wharf (if it's still there) had great joe.

So yeah, keep your google job, I have high flavor standards. Maybe if it was fair trade, organic, politically correct, no coca fields were razed to grow this coffee, I might go to 2.00

I'm a cheap guy.

For Christmas I got 2 pounds of Mexican coffee from a dude that lives down there. It was really good and strong...the way I like it..but since I only drink about 3 cups a day I won`t spend any extra money for coffee..unless poetry and beatniks are included!
