I visited a coffee shop in Portland that charges $9 for a pour-over and I actually think it's worth it

Went to this place called Proud Mary last weekend and saw people dropping $9 on a single cup of coffee. Everyone online acts like that's insane and a waste of money. But I watched the barista weigh the beans, time the pour, and adjust the water temp by the degree. It took almost 5 minutes to make one cup and the flavor was totally different from anything I get at home. I spent like $27 on two drinks and a pastry and honestly I didn't feel ripped off. Has anyone else visited a bougie spot like that and actually thought the price made sense?

Funny how we pay for everything else's expertise but coffee seems like the line.

@blair_taylor32 people pay extra for craft beer without blinking.

Agreed completely, had the same thing at a place in Austin and totally got it.
