The always entertaining Nordie food blog Food and Drink has a great new feature – the Coffee Phantom advises us about how to get good value for coffee:
£2 is the most you should pay in a coffee shop for any type of coffee (approx €2.25 exchange rate fans).- If you want to accessorise it will cost about 30p an accessory. But trust me on this, all you’re doing is damaging the taste of the coffee and costing yourself more money.
- If you are not 100 per cent happy with what you get, ask for another cup. It costs about 40p to make a cup, depending on the bean and milk quality, so don’t settle for poor presentation, service or quality.
There’s lots more interesting info about cafe coffee in the full post.
And of course you can always make your own, or avail of some of the specials that increasingly desperate coffee chains are currently offering.
