Once it's free - I'll bet you drink 2x as much.

Yep. The article said there is a similar program in Israel.

“They say they’re drinking more coffee than before, about 20 percent more,” says Rotem (who, by the way, drinks four to six cups on a bad day). “Our users save around 30 percent on coffee.”

What's to stop me from buying coffee for all my friends as well?

The last paragraph of the article says, "For whatever it’s worth, fiendish subscribers must adhere to at least one limitation: They must wait 30 minutes before ordering another coffee."

Yes, there is that limit –– and a good one. You could get around it maybe if you were with some friends doing a klatsch with staggered drinking rates and drink start times, but then you'd just look really cheap.
