Stop Irreversible Damage to the Amazon

$100, so, $5/coffee.

That'd be extremely expensive for a normal coffee, even at 2023 prices and assuming some rip-off place like Starbucks or quite-fancy cafes that actually put some of the high price into getting excellent beans. It's unthinkably high for home-made coffee. You can get extremely nice beans and not hit $2/coffee.

$5 is close to the cost of a hot caffeinated milkshake, though.

Starbucks sell 4 Billion of them, so they aren't impractical to set the benchmark price.

I assume a lot of those 4B are sugary dessert drinks containing coffee, not what is colloquially referred to as a “coffee”. At least I hope.
