the whole "coffee" metaphor for prices over the internet (Ko-fi, every service telling you you can afford the premium version by drinking one fewer cup of coffee a month, etc) mostly just makes me think "wow, coffee sounds really expensive in the US"

I mean I drink starbucks coffee sometimes but I don't pay five dollars for it and I don't do it multiple times a month.

I don't think coffee even costs that much at Starbucks, though it's on the right order (memory says $2 to $3 dollars, but I'm not a regular coffee drinker). Maybe it's higher in expensive places like NYC.

Walmart sells a tub of instant ground coffee that purports to make several hundred cups for $10, so I think that's overpriced even for the US.
