There is a coffee shop that I have not been to in awhile because they are pricey and on the other side of town. They advertise themselves as serving quality coffee and roast their own beans. I must admit I have enjoyed their espresso roast in their Americano. But one day last week I ordered a 12 oz. mocha and was flabbergasted by the price. It was a good mocha and the latte art was good but sure not worth $7.99. It’s a bit frightening to think that someday I could be priced out of my coffee addiction. Then what? Cuz I sure ain’t going back to work! Well… I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Just another problem created by people who don’t have to worry about how much their coffee costs. It’s frustrating to think that good coffee at a competent coffee shop is becoming a luxury, but that is just one of many things that are slowly moving out of reach.
I realize that going to coffee shops is about much more than the coffee. You can make perfectly good coffee at home but it isn’t the same as the change of scenery that going out provides. And like you, I ain’t going back to work to pay for it! 🙂

Thanks, Tom! I call these coffee shops and the connections I make in them, my coffee life. We can find the connections in reading clubs, churches, camera clubs, hiking clubs, and even work environments, but we won’t go there.

The world we live in. I have to say, there would be a lot of cutting back on other things before I’d give up my coffee. 😂

You made me laugh, Earl! It reminds me of the story of the young man who is buying toilet paper, lunch meat, loaf of bread, and a six pack of beer. He discovers he is short of cash and must put something back and chooses to put the toilet paper back. But he does ask for a second paper bag.
