Some people are probably super hyped for this news. But it really isn't as big as you'd expect. Crypto has some serious features over fiat and credit/debit cards. buying coffee isn't a place to show off that. It's likely just a symbolic thing bringing crypto awareness to the masses. people are likely to use something they are familiar with. Seeing that their favourite coffee shop is accepting this digital money could warm up them to experiment a bit with Bitcoin. 

Then hopefully they'll realize that they can't do much with this slow & expensive coin and switch to better, faster cheap coins in the market with real use cases. I'm not hyped. But I'm happy about the free marketing the industry is getting.

There are other faster coins, such as XLM, that will be more useful for payments than Bitcoin.

Exactly!
