Still a long way from Starbucks, but while in town today with time to kill, I decided to check out the local branch of Costa which is in one of the bookshops. Great to be able to order a medio Americano with an extra shot but not so great to find that it cost €3.50!
I suppose I saw it as a long term investment (in order to justify the initial cost), and it’s an undoubted indulgence, but our coffee machine has been the one civilising expense we haven’t regretted.
