espres5.jpg I was flying from SFO to CDG on Friday. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t have a direct fly, and I had to stop at Frankfurt for 2 hours. As I was especially tired (because of a Stu— child in the plane), I decided to buy an espresso. I found a coffee place and bought my first double espresso for 1,90 euros. This price is not cheap (it’s 1,70$ at starbucks in US), but it’s ‘ok’.

I went at the gate to wait for my plane… I had 2 more hours to wait… After 1 hour I decided to buy a second one. There was a segafredo coffee, and I asked for a ‘double espresso’. The vendor asked me to confirm my order… I was surprised and ask him why he did that… he replied to me that it was 5 euros for the double espresso…

Why am I posting about that?  I really think it’s unacceptable to sell a double espresso in paper cup for that price… if it has been at a great coffee place, why not… but in an airport and served in a paper cup… it’s ‘foutage de gueule’ like we say in french :)

My conclusion… think twice before to go to segafredo next time…
