(UK) Pret launches ‘all you can drink’ coffee subscription for £20 a month
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
I don't like Pret's overpriced food much, but their coffee is the best offered by the big chains. If I lived near a Pret - I absolutely don't - then I'd demolish this offer.
Good deal but I think Pret is garbage coffee. Still, lots of city folk who will absolutely go for this.
If you're in central london, where this is going to be huge, there are so, so many better alternatives for actual good coffee.
It's clearly not as good as a decent independent coffee shop, but worse than Starbucks?!
The last time I had a Starbucks was in Boston, and I thought they'd given me hot milk by mistake.
Honestly if there was a big expose that said Starbucks and the other major chains were actually just serving people milk and sugar and there was no actual coffee in any of their drinks, I wouldn't be at all surprised.
Yeah, I have to imagine that this was conceived as a London centric marketing ploy.
:lol
I never noticed that the quicksilver scene is total ripoff of the coffee scene in Futurama.
At first I was like "urgh so many restrictions" then I looked up and saw the price and god damn that is actually a great deal. That's like 6 coffees a month to break even and I'd probably have 2 a day. Sadly, we don't have Pret in Jersey so.....
I really like black pour-over filter coffee, and that's what I drink every day, but I also like a good flat white. Am I... basic?
Because they like the taste.
Personally, I am black double espresso* all the way!
* I often ask for a tiny splash of hot water, at which almost always the barista makes a 😕 face.
Damn I'd be in hospital if I signed up, literally discussed this pre-locked down with my colleagues and friends who have drunk Pret coffee and all have said it gives them heart palpitations.
One of the dudes I chatted to about this, our systems lead is Italian, dude tucks into expresso regularly and even he said Pret is too strong.

Well, I wouldn't pay $30 for a gamer girl's dish water. I'll tell you that.
Damn, including lattes/flat whites/frappes? That's a hell of a deal. Hell, with the amount of coffee I drink, that nearly rivals the amount I spend on fresh coffee beans for home use.

I think they have a presence in the big cities only, so Perth, Stirling, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness etc. Never seen one anywhere smaller.
Edit: Looked it up. Aberdeen only north of Glasgow or Edinburgh.
Ah, Pret. I wasted so much money there when I worked in Canary Wharf. Like £8 a day for lunch lmfao.
Just moved to London and live near a Pret (just like everyone else that lives in London apparently) so I got on the free trial - just finished my second one today.
It really is a great deal if you live or work near a Pret. Pret's coffee is mediocre and I love going to nice independent cafe's but the price is almost too good.
HOWEVER I doubt I'll continue it after the free trial because they don't have whole milk and I just don't see the joy in a semi-skimmed latte.
