That's a pretty good price for quality coffee. If I browse the internet, I see Instant shit coffee being sold more expensive. Also, the cup of flat white looks like a decent cup, but that price may be a little more, I'm not sure. But my regular latte is £3 with a small free chocolate.

I don't go out that often, and when I do, I try to go to coffee shops I know serve really good coffee.

Same for me. I don't just pop to town and enter a fancy coffee shop and fork out my money, only to get a watery shit cup of bad coffee, I need some feedback, or some other incentive, such as quirky aesthetics, so that I could at least take photos and write an interesting post that could subsidise the expense.

Subsidise the expense

is one of the benefits I like the most about being on Hive 😁😆

[millycf1976]

Yeah, that's for sure. 😁

ooh lovely, I've always been a fan of that custom (of adding a complimentary chocolate). It's not a big thing here, alas, but they don't mind if you bring your own xD

Completely! It seems a lot of this industry has turned, mysteriously, into a sort of you eat what we give you, and I don't care for it at all.

[millycf1976]

Eat what we give you, and I don't care for it at all.

Hmm, you're right about that, you know... ad you're making me think that I should give restaurants or dining outlets some more shit if they do not have their acts together.

I mean, shouldn't one? I used to be very polite and shy in such places, I still am polite, actually, but I also realized it's not assholey to expect a decent service when you're paying for it.

[chacald.dcymt]

That's what I'm saying. You can't make a decent post of a coffee in a disposable cup and have it taste like crap on top of everything else.

Indeed, not a handsome cup for a coffee post. Besides, plastic really changes the taste of beverages, more when it comes to hot ones; and some of that plastic comes into our bodies.

[chacald.dcymt]

And it goes straight into the trash to accelerate environmental pollution.... My tasting when I get a coffee in plastic 🫤
