Frickin' awesome! Bring it on. Which cafe/suburb? (Please PM if you are worried about the Gubbmint spies reading.)

That is called bartering.
Not swapping Silver for coffee is called saving.
How much is the coffee if you used fiat?

$4 per coffee (I usually get a Mocha).
Been doing this for a while - 1/4oz of gold goes a lot further 
I drink International Roast.

I'm the same, won't drink instant stuff. Bit of a snob there.
If I'm home, we brew our own.
If I'm out, I quite like :
The purchase of goods and services in the real world with metals though brings a smile to my face when I see it.
Anyone remember this one?

No comment on G4T, but the process was quite interesting and can be realistically applied in the modern world.
I've done a little work for silver before (for Stellaconcepts actually) and he was very happy with the results.
I'm a big fan of the concept.

As starving Uni Students in a share house we once went shares in a 4 kilo tin of Pablo Instant Coffee
(anyone remember Pablo Coffee?...I can't even find a photo of the tin on the web...i think it was yellow with a picture of a cactus wearing a sombrero
)anyway it worked out to something like 20c per cup...but you needed a heaped tablespoon to get any flavour and even then it tasted like mud. We quickly came up with the saying
"Life's too short for Pablo"
enjoy your coffee...don't scrimp.
