I guess you have all noticed the increase of coffee houses in local shopping areas. I know the street that I worked in (past tense) for five years went from having two coffee shops to having fourteen. Even the shop I was working in changed their products and trading hours to include the option of a cup of coffee to customers.
Now despite my slightly cynical introduction, I am very much into in the whole seen sipping scene. At the local shopping centre – Knox City there is two Gloria Jeans, one Starbucks, one David’s, a Coffee Club, a Bon Bons and may other fine establishments that make and sell 'great' coffee. And the varieties, you could go there every day for a week and not get through even half of the menu!
The idea of a potential problem and the need for CDA came last week when M34tb4LL and I bolted out of the house, knowing that the shop will be closing in ten minutes and we had not had a coffee. We then worked out that over the past four days we hade spent nearly $30 on coffees alone. We have talked previously about getting a coffee machine for home, and with the money we are currently spending – it would be justified, but it is not just about a good cup of coffee! It is the variety, the ambience and comfort of the coffee house.
Now if we got a couple of comfy chairs and coffee table that is the wrong height for them, a coffee machine, and some laid back jazz music – we would never have to leave the house again!
So is coffee culture more about the drink or the process?
