...I suspect that if you were to have told any of those people 10 years ago that they would gladly hand over three or four or five bucks for an ounce or two of very strong coffee and a cupful of steamed milk they would have told you to go back to Seattle or San Francisco or wherever the hell it is where people throw away money like that.
I have never been more wrong about anything than my opinion that the high-priced coffee craze "will never take off in this country," "will never last," "will never go main stream." I am still amazed that so many people will pay that much for specialty coffees, but there it is - they do and I was wrong.
