There's no doubt that coffee drinking is becoming more and more of a habit in many counties around the world. Coffee cafe culture is sweeping across the western world and moving into counties far more used to tea. Nothing at all wrong with any of this but the costs we, the consumers, pay in coffee shops is astronomical. True, we are paying for the ambiance (some places are far better than others it has to be said) and the pay for the baristas and all the other overheads associated with large companies.
If we're happy with this then all well and good. If we think we're being taken for a ride then maybe we need to think about how much it costs us to buy a packet of coffee and how much a single drink would cost in a cafe - it's about the same!
That packet of coffee will last you far longer than it will take you to drink a single cup from your favorite cafe. So get yourself a vacuum mug and make your own coffee in the morning to take out with you. That way you'll be saving money on one drink per day.
