Hi there!
I'm indulging in a good warm black coffee and I'm wondering about a simple thing.
- How much does a cup of coffee cost in your country when you enter a bar? -
I am not an expert on coffee, but I have come to know a little about types of coffee.
I have learned that I do not like the rough taste of the coffee from Sumatra.
Starbucks puts a lot of Sumatran Coffee in its popular blends. I strongly suspect that
it is a cheaper coffee for Starbucks to buy. They save money by putting a less expensive coffee in their blends. I have seen many coffees sold with Sumatran blended into it.
I prefer Columbian when I can get it. I also like Italian Roasts.
The coffee I buy for my home use daily is a French Roast called "San Francisco Bay" made by the "Rogers Family Coffee Company". It is quite good.

I don't know - a while ago I stopped drinking coffee at coffee shops and only drink it at home. I buy the green beans, roast and grind them at home.
Far too much in Australia. It's at least $3.50-$4 to start with, in my city. I was only yesterday having a conversation about how much markup is added to coffee.
In central Europe I wouldn't ever have paid above 1.50 euro for the same type and size of coffee.
I've had <em>kopi luwak</em>. In Australia, it costs about $50 USD per cup. When I was in Jogjakarta (central Indonesia), I realised a nearby cafe was selling it at about $10 USD per cup. So... why not? In the country of its birth, and all that.
However, I've since realised that the <em>luwak</em> (civet) may very well have been caged and force-fed the coffee berries, so that's something else to keep in mind... :/
Latte with skimmed milk is £2-3 depending on size in London
