That’s fairly standard everywhere, isn’t it? 2.80 is the cheapest I’ve come across in a while.
… and don’t forget if you’re one of the feckers like me, you’ve to pay 50c extra for a splasheen of oat milk.
€3.20 at a drive through in Dublin yesterday. Getting harder to support independent businesses when McDonalds are still charging €2 and their button machine coffees are equally as good as some half-trained barista handing you an overpriced cup of scald.
€3 is literally standard for a cup of coffee, and has been for a long while.
Where exactly in Mayo did you get this? If I was to hazard a guess it’s Mulroys around the Moneen Business Park.
That being said, as others said, €3 seems to be standard. I’m a student in GMIT and it’s €2.80 for an Americano and €3 for a mocha/latte/flat white/cappucino out of a fucking Bewley’s machine!
You can’t get a cup cheaper than €4 in Dundalk unless you go to McDonald’s, for bean water and a bitta milk! The neck on these hoors.
3 euro is bang Standard
€3? What’s this? 2012?
if it’s so expensive, why do you buy it? just make your own.
€3.60 due to being allergic to regular milk
Sees the price of the coffee..
“Shit, I left my wallet in the car just give me 2 seconds”
Runs back to the car and drives to McDonald’s for a 2 euro coffee
And yes I do actually run away and leave the coffee If it’s over 2.50 because fuck that shit
3 euro is cheap.
If it’s a good coffee its worth, would hardly be a sign of the boom.
*laughs in Dublin*
centra for the way we live today
I brew my own. Easy peasy and taste just as good, if not better.
Nope. This isn’t a boom. It’s long overdue generalised inflation with general global conditions finally catching up on consumer habits and costs. This is going to get a hell of a lot worse and the “bust” won’t be a reset back to old prices. We have petrol only going higher, energy going crazy, timber and construction materials making building largely unaffordable for many and massive pressure on farmers to keep food prices stupidly low resulting in losing our own farmers / producers.
The crazy thing is that this country is so well placed to address some of this. If we accepted that food cost a bit more we could keep our amazing producers. Some slight degree of offsetting that burden on low income could be a modest increase on higher income taxes. I earn a bit more than most and it’s mental that I’m not taxed higher over a certain amount.
If we stopped fucking objecting to wind farms and solar and off shore, we could heavily more advanced on some degree of serious energy export / independence.
If we encouraged a serious domestic timber industry instead of fucking up our felling licence system so guys were actually allowed fell the commercial forests they planted 20 years ago….the list goes on…
Sorry for rant, but we had a litany of articles at the start of Covid about how it was a chance for a “reset” and here we are again with the same stuff trotted out about how *now* we need to start taking energy dependance seriously and it’s just so fucking depressing to see all the predictable crap playing out.
I pay €4.40 on Talbot street in Dublin
Thank god I never got into drinking coffee or tea.
Really depends on the coffee. Where are the beans from. Are they fairtrade, are they freshly roasted. Good coffee is costly to produce, but there’s nothing to stop you going and getting a jar of nescafe and a plug in element if all you need is caffeine.
When I was in college, as a mature student, I used to make up a large flask of coffee every morning. To keep costs down, you see. To make further savings, I made it with some Lidl brand instant coffee granules.
It was disgusting.
€3 coffee is pretty standard no?
I was in Spain recently. €1.20 for a big coffee and a fresh made crossant. Time to move
2 more euro and you buy 300g of kenkos’ freeze dried instant Brazilian coffee 100% Arabica.
I’m a Brazilian addicted to coffee and can confirm it tastes better than most coffee I bought on shops
Hell, even Tescos Colombian coffee tastes better than the average coffee to go
Jesus I don’t remember the last time i paid less than €3 for a (decent) coffee in ireland. Like im sure you could pick up some shite from a dispenser, but near every cafe i go to is at least 3 euro (Louth, Dublin, kilkenny at least)
When I was in Switzerland last year, coffee was about €2.80 everywhere unless you went to dead dead centre of Zurich or Geneva. There was no real “tourism” tax, a no where town charged the same for stuff as a scenic view point. Everyone knows Switzerland as expensive but honestly if you took away evening meals, everything else was fine at least for what we pay in Ireland. Our staycation in 2020 cost roughly the same. For what Jury’s inn was asking for in Cork last week we spent 2 of nights on a gorgeous 4* hotel by a lake. Ireland is a rip off, Switzerland is expensive but at least you get what you pay for. Here it’s half hazard half the time and nickel & dime you 6 ways to Sundays. There is no reason things should be costing near Swiss or Scandinavian prices with out the wages to match.
Controversial opinion here, but I have long felt coffee is underpriced and tea is overpriced. A good cup uses so much weigh of coffee compared to tea leaves.
Nothing to do with anything else in your post, but I designed that cup.
Freshco in Kilkenny is the best convenience store I’ve ever had the pleasure of buying from. Everything is fairly priced. Large cappuccino only sets me back 2 quid.
What you’ve just experienced there, OP, is classic daylight robbery. You better have enjoyed it lol
I’d pay it for a fancy pants filter coffee or a really good espresso, but for anything else I can’t make myself buy a coffee out anymore. Working from home has really put it into perspective
At least a few years ago you were still able to get Coffee or tea or whatever from a machine for like €1.50 from an independent convenience store. It wasn’t fancy but it was all right. And in Tesco too. Then they started bringing in the fancy machines with the corporate names the baristas etc. and charge higher prices. We are oversaturated with coffee places everywhere, yet none of it cheap and a lot of it isn’t even that good.
You mean “ONLY” €3 haha!
You think thats bad, i work at costa and the average cup is 4.50! Like wth. I swear a cappuccino is 1.50 in Italy i dont understand why coffee is so expensive in Ireland.
