Coffee prices: Starbucks vs Mugg & Bean vs Woolworths vs Seattle Coffee

[ToxicBunny]

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.

I don't know of any restaurants charging less than R20 for a softdrink.

And no, a sodastream is nowhere close to what a coke is, and in a shop the equivalant to the R20+ softdrink in the restaurant is like R8.

I only go to expresso cafe everything is R10

This.

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

You don't by any chance wear v-neck shirts and scarfs at the same time?

Nope, shorts and Jordan's.

Seattle FTW! Woolies is second and down the road, we have Cramers coffee which is phenomenal.

In terms of pricing, don't mind spending on my daily coffee buzz.

Probably spend on average about R800 a month on coffee.

I have a bean to cup machine at home and have in the past bought Seattle, Woolies and Cramers beans and just can't reproduce the taste.

Krispy Creme for me. Followed very closely by Seattle. The rest are generally meh.

Save myself a fortune by not drinking coffee, unfortunately lose out on hipster points though .

Margins on coffee bigger than those on cocaine , so I've been told

Bought 3 boxes of 10 sachets of Nescafe Gold Cappuccino at PnP o Black Friday. Was R33 a box and well worth it.

Boil water just before leaving the house. Have my throw away coffee cups with lids that I bought from crazy store.

Great cup of cappuccino every day.

That was actually a decent special from pnp because a box of 10 sachets usually retail for over R50. So was a decent saving.

You know it's not even a distant long lost cousin of cappuccino, right?

Well it says cappuccino on the box. I never really understood the diffirence between coffee and cuppuccino anyways....

Whatever it is the Salted caramel flavour is pretty decent.

Sorry - it's early and I can't yet tell if you're being serious or not.

I'm not a coffee expert so yes I am. You care to enlighten me?

Cappuccino is an expresso with steamed milk foam on top.

What you're drinking is instant "coffee" with dried milk and some sort of chemically induced reaction floating on top.

What I think he is trying to saying it's horse pee with a creamer These sachets isn't nearly as good as the original, quite often a chicory mix, which means basically sugar mixed with a little coffee for flavor.

You can also use cream....

Fair enough. Still a far cry from instant with rehydrated sea-scum floating atop - or whatever it is made from.

Either you're trolling, or you fit their demographic 100%. Their marketing must but on point, or you watch too much American TV.

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

Did Masterton's open a new branch? I thought that they were on Russel Road in Richmond Hill and that you live somewhere out in the woods.

As a matter of fact they have - they're at 92 Main Road, Walmer now.

Funny enough though I haven't been there yet - I've only been hearing about it on the radio. They've had a barista in the media centre at all of the MSL matches at St George's Park.

Quite a few other changes at SGP fwiw including a new (small) scoreboard on the duckpond stands and power and ethernet for the photographers.
