Black Coffee Express

Fancy coffee shops owe a lot to the loyal black coffee with no frill addicts. I mean they spend less money, but they are loyal and they are quick about it.

The problem is that some people order drinks that take longer to say than it does to pour me a cup of coffee. And they are inevitable in front of me in the morning coffee line.

I purpose one of two things:

1) Express lane for any drink that requires pouring only. Tea that is just a bag and hot water can count too. But nothing that requires the espresso machine or the foam dealy.

or

2) A self poor coffee pot in a separate spot in the shop, maybe even with a honor system for paying. Or maybe some automation, at least in the pouring, certainly not in the making.

And, hey, I'm reasonable. Maybe this could just be until 8 in the morning or something.

But come on. Black coffee is the core of their business and some of us are horribly addicted and therefore deserve priority. How's that for logic?
