Yes, you read that right - free coffee. As in beer, not as in speech.
Yesterday afters I was out with Mrs Wife and we stopped off at a nice little coffee shop for light refreshments mid retail therapy [hers, not mine]. I commented how good the coffee was and the boss gave me a small packed of beans, enough for three or four coffees, to try at home. If I like it, I can buy some more for £22/kg.
I believe this is how drug dealers get their marks hooked.

For that price it better be damn good coffee. I pay about 3€ / 250g and everyone tells me I'm crazy to spend so much money on coffee.
What do they know...

My coffee in Hungary is about that price, but I can't get it here and Mrs Wife stupid idiot colleague didn't bring me back any when the shyte head was back a few weeks ago.
Here, around £12/kg is the cheapest and it shows. Going up to £20/kg gets some interesting stuff. Jamaican Blue Mountain starts around £80/kg.

I don't drink coffee, but my dad does, so I know how much it costs from a good shop, and it's around £2 a quarter (i.e. £20 a kilo) here too.

How much is a quarter? If it is 250g then there are four quarters in a kilo resulting in only £8/kg.

A quarter = quarter pound = 4 oz or roughly 100g (it's actually 114g).

Nice result. Let us know what the long-term effects are.
A friend of ours in Amsterdam comes to the UK several times a year. She was once in St. Albans and thought the coffee she had tasted good so she bought me a 250g packet. She was right, it was utterly delicious and one I could become a devotee of. The problem is I never made a note of its name and she can't remember the coffee shop she bought it from. We stayed with her and hubby in Amsterdam several weeks ago. She gave me a surprise present of 500g of a shop-blended coffee she buys from her local café. That too, is completely beyond comparison. I have asked her to bring some with her when she comes over next. Her comment is no, we must go to Amsterdam to collect it from her. What is it with women? They have such a talent to be utterly cruel when it comes to matters of the Most Noble Bean.

Personally I hate coffee.
I hate the smell, the taste, the fact that it even exists.
But most of all I hate the hype and bullshit of the Barristas and their clients.
I drink Tea. I drink it hot with milk and sugar.
That's it.
A cup of splosh, a mug of Rosey Lee, a swig of Gunfire, good old fashioned English Breakfast Tea.
No poncing about, no dressing it up in fancy names etc.
"Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" - What a poof!
"Tea, NATO" is the correct form of address to the Enterprise's autofoodvendormachine.
"Oi Guynan, stick the kettle on and keep you philosophying mouth shut"
Nevermore a "Venti, triple-shot, non-fat, sugar-free, cinnamon, dolche latte, with whip".
I would close them all down and open up Tea Shoppes.

Earl Grey is tea that was so lacking in flavour that they had to add perfume.
The Mrs just returned from China with the legal limit (yeah, right -- think of a factor) of the real thing, so I'm set for a while.
