After a number of years of growth, there has been a slight decline in South African coffee consumption in 2017.

Fortunately we're spoiled for choice in PE. Munro's and Masterton's to name but two.

R25 for a cup of coffee? Daylight robbery. I make a cup at home for about R4...

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Yoh, for a cuppa coffee?
I once had a Wimpy coffee in the 90s and that's it. (from above said list)
Do people actually pay that amount for a cup of coffee?

Bliksem. I didn't know coffee was that expensive. Gave it up over 10 years ago.

It's parked right outside of Tony's Appliances - or what used to be called Tony's - off 17th Avenue.

Yeah coffee has become expensive, the little coffee shops we have in our offices still making a killing though and they are about R17 to R20 a cup. I'm like screw that I'll go get a cup from the vending machine thing.

And what do you think you pay for a cooldrink or drink at a restaurant?

Not R20 more that's for sure.

I frequent Starbucks often, i like their coffee and the atmosphere is a nice place to sit with your mac and work.

Need to learn how to make better coffee at home but I'm lazy.

Vida e has to be some of the worst coffee, definitely not worth the price.

Above list doesn't show the "loyalty" programs, e.g. Seattle's 1 in 10 free (yes, you can buy the cheapest coffee 10 times and then buy the most expensive one if you like).

Also missing e.g. Food Lovers, they actually have pretty good coffee, R19 for a tall cappuccino.

Not R20 more that's for sure.

Last I checked, most restaurants had over R20 for a soft drink...

Not sure why Wimpy is on the list, doesn't really fit there, the others (besides Vida ) are actually good coffee most of the time.

Aha

Kanala Walk one is handy.

 

[ToxicBunny]

In many cases you probably do...

Not the places I frequent.

Sure and you'll pay for it at the store aswell unless you own a bottling plant, soda stream or got a lifetime supply for free.

Just buy a bean to cup machine for R5k, add a bag of beans and bob's your uncle.
