Re: "Brew Cart" ripoff attempt
Dude, any coffee-seller worth their salt sells what is basically espresso on most streets.
Avoid any place that has more than $50/worth of start-up cash, they are the cabal carpetbaggers.

But what is their aircon, seating arrangements and toilet facilities like? And can they sell you a burger if you feel peckish?dron wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 6:44 pmBut they sell espresso shots out of a cart in BKK3 for $1.50.
Re: "Brew Cart" ripoff attempt
As a matter of interest what was the espresso machine on the cart like? Can't imagine a cart having a decent espresso machine to be honest.
Re: "Brew Cart" ripoff attempt
Brew is pretty good. They started their first cart in front of the shop next to Angkor market. Now 2+ yrs later I believe they have 4 different locations and are doing very well. (mostly local clientele)
You can have a big caramel frappe with whipped cream for $2.50... (fck Brown, Starbucks and other overpriced coffee shops)

Just found their FB page, gear looks ok.
Here's the prices I think the girl must have said give me 4000 riel and I give you change and the OP thought the girl said $4
Re: "Brew Cart" ripoff attempt
r5,000 to r6,000 for a ground coffee on a proper coffee machine is a reasonable price (on the street).
Street 172 is Tourist street, so all likely they saw you as a Tourist with Tourist prices to match.

Re: "Brew Cart" ripoff attempt
As I mentioned I think the women asked for "bouan porn" and held up four fingers. Maybe the op's Khmer was not so good and he thought $4. When she realised he was probably a tourist and didn't understand her, she thought what the hell I can make a bit here!
Re: "Brew Cart" ripoff attempt
Yea, they pay 3 to 5 thousand for a decent espresso machine that can do multiples. Quite a heavy investment when they make less than a dollar back per cup.
Or you can get actual coffee (latte, americano, espresso) in a shop with wifi, air conditioning, a toilet and comfortable seats in many local coffee shops for $2.
