The economy here is difficult, it is not the price of the coffee but the cat you make and the time it lasts, here the prices are expressed in dollars but that is not our official currency, 1.5$ would be like 50 bolivars that changes every day, but if you are a coffee lover the important thing is to wake up with your good cup.
The worst year was 2016. I remember they made fake coffee from beans and barks. It was awful. We reduced our intake to one little cup per day, which was what we could afford if we wanted to have real coffee even if it wasn't so good.
Yes, my morning coffee makes my day, always that is good 🤎
Yes, they cheated with that coffee that tasted like a stick, at home we also reduced the intake to once a day and my mother recycled the coffee grounds hahaha.
For a country with a strong coffee culture and economic turmoil, I think it's expensive, especially considering money exchange rates. However, it is cheaper compared to other places.
As you say though, waking up to a good cup of coffee matters:)
The situation here is difficult, especially because of the purchasing power of the working class, whose income does not exceed $100 per month, it is a high price to pay, but it is worth it.
That income sounds really low, indeed and I think that coffee shop outings would indeed be a massive expense to factor in.
It is difficult to go out to a cafeteria with those salaries, you would have to use at least 25% of your monthly income.
25% of any monthly income is a big sacrifice 🤗
You have to save to be able to treat yourself
