There is basically no room to under sell current coffee shops. Indie spots barely turn profit and the big names successfully sell low tier product for premium prices. If a good latte is 4 bucks and you charge 2 you need to sell twice as many to cover rent. I worked at a place that switched the espresso beans to a cheaper mass produced product to up the margin. People stopped coming immediately, the quality was important.
