I’m sitting outside a Starbucks in London looking directly across the road to another Starbucks. Apparently there are 183 in London. Crazy business model.

Crazy business model. 

 

You're drinking a cup of coffee that cost about 28 cents to produce. The cup is probably as expensive as the contents.

In this thread as I have started drinking this poison again after quite a few years.

 

Wife wanted a Nespresso for Christmas. I got one.

She didn't like it. I got rid of it.

 

Busted out the old school Moka pot and am happy. And awake.

Aldi azziri or whatever the fuck it is is about as good. I am not really a coffee drinker though but every penny spent is a vote if people pay the extra then they'll obviously charge it.

Yes the mark up is astonishing. Herbal tea is even crazier, a 15p bag and hot water equals £2.90. Buying Herbal tea is God’s way of telling you that you’ve got way too much disposable income.

“When I was a kid in Liverpool the nearest cappuccino was in London – and by the time you got it home it was stone cold. Now Liverpool’s streets are so awash with decent coffee you could mistake it for Milan.”

This is why we’re getting fatter as a nation.

Part of Starbucks' model is to saturate the market, in some instances/areas they don't care if an individual shop makes money so long as the bigger business does. They'll flood an area - as happened in Sheffield - with new stores to monopolise the market, fully expecting a number of those stores to eventually close.

 

But yeah, there are fucking loads. And their coffee is shit.

Back to proper coffee content, I treated myself to a bag of this stuff last week, it is absolutely sensational:

Bought this at auction in Liverpool my winning bid after commission was £1245, uses coffee beans from East Timor only, no idea why. Coffee only takes 12 hours to come through. Had a Necafe Gold Blend while I was waiting.

You’re getting mixed up with the 1886 patented onanist semen extractor. This is the female version.

The supermarket model,with adaptation. Drop your prices to kill off the butchers,bakers and candlestick makers until they close and then be the only game in town. Or form a cabal and do the same thing.
