Thanks ... as that crossed my mind as I was making my coffee this morning. Remembering how bad the coffee was at StarCrap, the one and only time I sampled. Although that was 25+ yrs ago, I've not read anyone say anything good about their coffee from the outlets. It must be the way the outlets make it, as the beans themselves get decent reviews when comparison reviews are done on YT. @ 16 mins of this vid ... Definitely agree with Dunkin's coffee, as use to be a favorite of mine at Udon Thani, and the gal always brewed a fresh pot for me. 😉 Although I prefer a darker roast of late. Don't Yank bash, I'm sure 'yours' is probably better 🙄

February 6, 20251 yr Soi bukoa pattaya is the most reasonably priced food soi in the country. Especially breakfasts. Like many places Time bar does an early bird breakfast for 99baht including tea or coffee. The poster was certainly ripped off charged 80 baht for an instant coffee in that area.

It was never about if he can afford or not. First Starbucks sell overpriced bad coffee. What was the point in the op, was that a pack of 5 baht instant coffee, can be sold for 80 baht. In my opinion that´s a scam.

I was just killing time till tuk com opened at 1030. I wasn't hunting a cheap meal, I stopped at a restaurant because it had a nationality specific menu. I'm usually disappointed when doing this and this time was no different. Now the coffee tasted like instant, but hey it could have been brewed. My point is just that 80 baht is excessive and bad business practice for coffee either instant or brewed. I understand Starbucks sell expensive coffee and if I had stopped there I wouldn't post.

Their cups are considerably larger. If the Ma / Pa vendor, small chains charge 50 or 60 baht a cup, then SB, is about right. Ma / pa & chain vendors, you might get 5 oz / 150 ml, without the AC & comfy seating. 8 oz / 236 ml 12 oz / 354 ml (Tall) 16 oz / 473 ml 20 oz / 591 ml My morning cup at home is 400 ml, and cost all of ฿20

Instant will have to do. I bought a small jar of instant just for this situation.
