I agree that when it comes to buying coffee one should not skimp and buy a quality coffee that we like.
Here a cup like that can cost about 2 maybe 3$ in a more expensive coffee shop. But just yesterday I had a cappuccino for 4.5 $. I think it's one of the most expensive I've had here and it's not something I make often.
That's quite a lot. One thing I've found interesting about this week's networking event is how different coffee beverages seem to rank differently in parts of the world. For instance, cappuccino carries a pretty decent price here, but I've never seen a flat white for 2-3 bucks. :O
Here you can get a decent coffee much cheaper. But from time to time if one can, it is good to support these small coffee shops that support small local producers. I think that in this way one contributes to the long-term increase of coffee production in the country and of good quality.
