But then there's lattes, cappuccinos, frozen coffees, etc--all those "fancy" drinks you get at Starbucks, they usually run about $5 and I don't see a problem with that, they're huge and require more effort to make. But charging $5 for a regular cup of drip coffee would be highway robbery. <br /><br />Have a great week Pamela! Are you going to have any turkey?

We get reasonable coffee here in France, price varies (as per your Belgian correspondant) and can be anything from 2.50 euros to 4 euros depending on the establishment and location. Coast is usually more expensive but does not always follow. We don't buy a lot of coffee out though as we think it expensive. However, we spend a month in Spain every year and as soon as you cross the border the coffee becomes half the price and twice as nice! They must use a different bean roast there I think. So we stop for coffee quite often. Coffee in Britain is usually pretty yuk - I go for hot chocolate! xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-17409287049391681152017-11-19T11:02:12.514+09:002017-11-19T11:02:12.514+09:00Hi Pamela.

Although we're ...Aaaah, interesting question...<br />Although we're living in "Financial Europe", where prices should be levelled, at least for common consuming products... this is not the case (far from it!). Here are some examples :<br /><br />- Here in Belgium, we usually pay 2,5 Euros (330 JPY) for a cup of coffee<br />- When we lived in Spain we paid 1,5 Euros (132 JPY)<br />- In France it can go up to 3,6 Euros (528 JPY), depending on the place<br />(although we're doing our main grocery shopping in France, where taxes on food are much lower, as in Belgium. As we're lucky enough to live 15Km from the French frontier, it's much more interesting for us (we can save up to 50% on daily products!)<br /><br />Back to coffee :<br />I drink lots of coffee, and so does my husband, especially at home. I like it black for breakfast, and sometimes with some milk in the afternoon/evening.<br /><br />For home, we buy Italian coffee, grinded, and we pay 4.5 Euros (594 JPY) for one Kg (In France)<br />For information : 1 Kg grinded coffee will last 6 weeks at home (with a daily 1.5 Liter consumption), which is the reason why we rarely drink coffee outside ( 2.5 Euros grinded coffee would last me 3 weeks at home!) so we often drink water (many of us even carry their own small bottle of water in their bag, instead of entering a bar).<br />We don't have special coffee houses in Belgium (first time I went to a Starbucks café was when I visited my friend in Cyprus!).<br />Coffee here is served in bars, or shopping centers galleries, where they also serve all sorts of teas, sodas, beers, wines, liqueurs,... Unfortunately, I never saw ANY refill in Belgium .<br /><br />How much is too much ?? Hmmm what I can tell you is that almost everything is often becoming too expensive in Belgium, prices are rising, whilst salaries are blocked, and many among us are returning to a frugal way of living (even the younger ones), going back to cooking from scratch, tending a veggies garden. Living simply, decluttering, "down to earth", are becoming key words, and I think it's a good thing...<br /><br />Some finance people will tell you this is due to "the crisis" "the depression", but let me tell you we're married for 45 years, and it was already "the crisis" at that time !<br /><br />Nadine<br />(sorry for this long comment, hope I didn't go too much out of subject :D )<br /><br /><br />NADINEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040420936461300331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-74890467831469592322017-11-19T07:56:09.087+09:002017-11-19T07:56:09.087+09:00I an alien who doesn't drink coffee.

We have a tiny coffee pot for our house and I keep a small amount of preground stuff in the freezer for the occasional guest (Mom). When I go out to eat, I usually have sweet iced tea or Dr Pepper depending on the meal. I don't like to get water because it always tastes so chlorinated even with a lemon squeezed in it. If I'm just going out shopping, I carry a bottle with our water with me to sip on. rosey175https://www.blogger.com/profile/00418995945160843165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-3342446686415132882017-11-19T07:23:39.870+09:002017-11-19T07:23:39.870+09:00Veloce in Kyoto does good coffee and staff are lo...Veloce in Kyoto does good coffee and staff are lovely.

It's been a few years since I was in Japan, but at the time I was addicted to Tully's coffee, either cafe latte or cappuccino. It was a bit more than regular coffee, but about on par with Starbuck's in the US. I can't remember the prices exactly, but the latte was probably about US$3-4 then, but the exchange rate was good at the time. BTW, Tully's is based in Northern California, I believe, but the coffee in Japan is independent (and better, IMO). So many changing choices in the conbini too. I like dark roast, strong, with cream and just a little sugar or no sugar, depending. Thanks for sharing the list, we enjoyed reviewing it!Jen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168401135498974644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-65180596183439741172017-11-19T05:36:56.775+09:002017-11-19T05:36:56.775+09:00Hi Pamela ,gee there is a big difference in price,...Hi Pamela ,gee there is a big difference in price,i dont drink coffee,but like you i usually drink water xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
