    1. The local Bear coffee just raised their flat whites from €3.90 to €4.20 to match Coffee Angel across the road. What once was a daily treat is now turning into a once a week treat.

      New record a few weeks ago, because I didn’t look at the board properly. Pistachio matcha latte for 7 euro. Now it involved actual pistachio and was absolutely heavenly but dear god

      I used to get a coffee every day on the way to work and the odd one midday. It’s only about a €1 more expensive now than when I was doing that, but something cracked there recently, and it can’t be justified anymore.

      Takeaway, pints, meals out gone the same way. Went to a gig last night. Was great, but the ticket and two pints were €75. The price tag is really taking the good out of things the last while.

      They do a reasonable job of explaining why the cost has increased in this article to be fair, but it has just become too expensive to justify a lot of thing now.

      On the bright side I’m doing home versions of a lot of things now and you can have great craic with it.

      If you think that’s bad, I paid €8 for a kids hot chocolate the other day.
      We will be giving up cafes as well as the pub at this rate.

      Got a Tasimo off the missus for Christmas. Have an Aeropress in work. 

      Cost of take aways coffees so far this year: €0

      Blaming it on the beans is a bit of a lie. It’s more all the other costs going up – labour electric/gas bills.
      It’s always cheaper to grind your own. i get 1kg of really nice blend for 6euro.

      If you buy yourself a half decent espresso machine and watch a few youtube videos, you can make yourself a nice coffee for about €1.
      Obviously, you can buy a jar of maxwell house, but these people aren’t the target anyway.

      The cost of the coffee beans is tiny compared to the actual cost of the cup of coffee.

      Just another industry screwing us.

      Ya ,they can keep it.
      It wasn’t worth it at 3.50 so it’s definitely not worth it now

      €6 for coffee where I live and it’s literally brown water with sugar.

      Miss me with that shit.

      I’ll have coffee at home.

    11. Bit of a daft measurement to say “a bag” of coffee has gone up from €210 to €600.

      How big is this bag? How many coffees does it make? How does that affect your fixed and variable costs?

      If he’s buying a 50kg “bag” he’s making like 7000 coffees out of that at 3.50 a pop that’s over 24 and half grand before costs.

      You’re a fuck up if you’re losing money on that.

    12. Pints of Beamish are €4.50 around here and Guinness starts at €5

      I’ll be having a flat black myself from now on

    13. Bort78965 on

      I make better coffee than most coffee shops. Costs me about 60c

    14. Crackabis on

      Nah that’ll be the nail on the head for my odd treat of a flat white. I don’t get one regularly out and about, maybe once a week if even but I can’t justify anything more than €4 for a coffee.

      I’ve a moka pot at home that I use almost daily instead, I need to invest in a frother though. I miss that little bit of foaminess from a coffee shop!

      Buy your own coffee machine and beans, make your own at home. Buy your own hair clippers, cut your own hair. Buy your own tools, fix your own shit.
      See where Im going with this..

    16. No-Pack7571 on

      Bought a French press travel mug from Mahers on Oliver plunkett st, cork €25. Colombian ground from aldi. NEVER buy coffee out anymore it’s a piss take.

      I like to close my eyes and make my own world where coffee is free. But we got shareholders who wants us to increase to 1cent.

      A lad I went to college did the same degree and started in the same job as me. He’s on his third coffee shop and leads a millionaire lifestyle. I’m not one bit jealous, no sir!

    19. Roasting has always had the highest markup in the production chain, time for them to suck it up rather than fuck with the margins in independent coffeeshops

    20. Comfortable-Film5457 on

      Haven’t been to the Bald Barista in years so I don’t know if espresso is good there still but for me most of the high end coffee places don’t really do coffee I like. So I’m not going to be paying 4eur for one! I have a Rocket Cellini and good grinder since 2011 and I prefer espresso from my machine.

      I’ve never bought coffee out because I never saw it as worth the price, so now I’m even less inclined. The exception are fancy monstrosities like pumpkin spice frappuccinos and black forest gateaux whipped lattes and such, and I only have them maybe once every couple of months when I’m having a day out because they’re essentially coffee desserts.

    22. Substantial-Fudge336 on

      Used to get one daily. Gave up on it. It’s mad money a week.

    23. heartfullofsomething on

      I think we take for granted how cheap coffee is in general, specially how far it has to come and what the workers who harvest coffee are paid.

    24. I get the cost of beans has gone up sharply, but the gross profit on coffee is ridiculously high, thin margins my arse. There’s a reason there are so many horseboxes converted to coffee selling. 

    25. Opening-Iron-119 on

      Hopefully it goes up 50c for disposable cup tax soon. Roads and ditches full of the things

    26. Out coffee machine 10 years ago was about €1200. Its on its last legs but we will spend €1500/€2000 for the next one. We wfh most days and it’s an easy profit and better quality.

      I buy 2 coffees out per week on top of it but in general the price in any coffee place has a mad mark up. But they need that mark up to survive.

    27. I was surprised to find coffee is dirt cheap in comparison in Australia, far nicer as well.

      I only get a coffee in town about once a month, but even the current prices would make ya think. Hmmm, do I really want it?
