Espresso

Cup of fine Espresso in Rome : 1 Euro (coffee imported and blended)

Cup of fine Espresso in Nairobi: 1.25 Euro (coffee produced locally and blended)

Nice third degree price discrimination at work. i.e. the average person drinking fine espresso in Italy is poorer than the average person drinking fine espresso in Nairobi – same product, different audience segments.

    dude, drop a line or two, could your small town interwebs be insufficient to upload your thoughts for me to gawk at?

    No, Espresso cannot cost that much in Nai,otherwise I will never co back! Did you just say Euros? More Kenyans work late, hence need more cofee,no?
