The difference is that coffee is a completely different kind of market: producing a small quantity of very good coffee does not give you much help in producing it in large quantities without at a linear increase in the costs (and actually has hard limits based on growing conditions, available labor, etc.) whereas software can be infinitely replicated.
The price of a cup of coffee is useful only in establishing the threshold for how much money the average person is likely to spend without significant thought.
