Sorry to derail, but I had to ask: where does 1 coffee (even extra large) cost $5 USD? Let me know so I know to never move there.
I have seen regular coffee at $4.50 and as high as $5.50 in the USA (and not always a large), but in order to get there, it has to be "single cup pour over" made, as opposed to coming out of a machine into a pot. And the beans have to be organic or they are telling you exactly where they were grown and giving you alleged "flavor notes" and maybe they roasted them in-house or locally, and the place has to have an upscale or luxury vibe. But Starbucks in the USA gives you a 20oz out-of-a-machine for under $3. McDonald's beats everybody - $1 for a large. Although I am not a big fan of the McDonalds coffee (maybe psychological due to the low price). 7/11 convenience stores and Chevron gas stations both have several varieties of coffee on tap that they sell for under $2 for a large, that I think tastes good.
