8、Do you think people are willing to pay more for famous brand coffee, such as Starbucks, instead of making it at home?

﹡I think that many people pay more for famous brand coffee because they’re busy and don’t have time to make it at home in the morning. —Hilary Gorenst

﹡You don’t experience these things when you are tired and alone sitting in your kitchen making the coffee yourself. —Casie Jolley

﹡I don’t have time to make coffee in the morning, so stopping by a drive-in is easy for me! I love Starbucks in particular, because they are really consistent（一致的） with their drinks. I know I’ll never get a poorly make mocha!  —Kelly Schakel
