Interesting. At least one coffee shop in NYC has already done this on their own, for only $25/mo (but it's only one location): http://www.yelp.com/biz/fair-folks-and-a-goat-new-york-2
Not the greatest deal for those users I guess.

> - non-techy enough to not have built a crazy $10k coffee-brewing setup at home I have an espresso maker (admittedly much much cheaper than that) at home, but I still drink coffee out throughout the day. Though I also must admit to the fact that I leave in Rome where an espresso is 70-90 cents and consistently good.
I own 3 espresso machines and have access to 5 no matter where I am (Splitting my time between Tel Aviv and the bay area) and I still drink coffee outside.
Wait, before you all drink up, check out the CAFFEINATED documentary (the actual documentary starts at 4:19). Ever wonder why Barack Obama doesn't drink coffee? Pt. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OecTZBjFvw#t=259 Pt. 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qncmE7O7wg4
I've never though about it, but what Americans call "regular coffee" in my country is called "American coffee". When I ask for a "coffee" I probably get a latte or in Spanish "café con leche".
The american "regular coffee" is (weak) drip brewed coffee.

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.
For $0 a month you can drink water from the tap. It's healthy and doesn't require installing an app. (Psst. You should be finding ways to balance your diet, not contribute to its destruction.)
Coffee is good for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee#General_health

Water from the tap is not free, it is a cost everyone pays in some way or another (built into rent or part of property taxes). Even if you still live with your parents, a dollar they spend on the water bill is a dollar less for you.
Cool idea, but it seems to target a pretty narrow demographic: - wealthy enough to live in NYC and buy at least one cup of coffee every single work day - cheap enough to want to save a few bucks a month on coffee - can't be bothered to carry a credit card around every day - can be bothered to carry a smart phone around every day - trendy enough to frequent NYC coffee shops - untrendy enough to be seen using "coupons"…
