I actually don't like drinking my coffee piping hot. I buy it (and I wouldn't buy plain coffee for $4 - that is just crazy talk, I like mine plain with a little cream), and make myself at home at a table.
After I've enjoyed just the peace and quiet of my table for a good ten minutes or so, either reading or talking with my husband if he is with me, then it has cooled down enough for me to start sipping. A lovely thing to enjoy in mid-winter in Nova Scotia, gets me out of the house, and I get the experience of using their free wifi and the "rental" of the table space. So for the $2 or so I pay for my coffee, it's not a bad deal.
I pay $2-$4 for some e-books that are DRM-free, so for $6, I get a coffee with an e-book on the side, tasty tasty. And I get to keep them and read them on the 'screen' of my choice.
$13? Now that book better come with a side of chocolate cheesecake, and Don Ross serenading me on his custom Luthier guitar.
