Kopi Luwak mana? Still remember I had one in Yogyakarta which cost around RM30 per cup only. Taste smoother than any coffee I ever drink.

Their profit margin should be dependent on the quality of bean since the other cost like coffee machine, renovation, and barista salary should be about the same. Been making my own cold brew for some time now and all my beans are bought from Shopee. So far I can conclude that any bean below RM20 for a 200~250g pack are Starbuck level aka shit tier. Get a medium quality bean around RM30 per pack and you can make better black coffee than 80% of the chain coffee shop out there.

I think some people do enjoy coffee coz many of them are buying take away coffee to drink in office or home. Just that many people don't know how to judge the quality of a coffee hence some cafe can sell shitty coffee with exorbitant price using shitty bean.

Used to like kopi o but after switching to cold brew I'm now favouring coffee with 'clearer' taste note instead of 'richer' one
