Coffee @ Fontys

A lot of people drink coffee. Most of them can’t even function without their daily boost of caffeine. Especially students need their coffee, just to stay awake during class. Luckily, the coffee and tea are really cheap at the Fontys canteen, only 40 cents.

However, since two weeks there’s been a major change. The canteen now opens at 10 am instead of 8.30 am. That means the students can’t buy coffee before the morning classes. There are coffee vending machines in the hallways, but that coffee doesn’t taste as good as the canteen’s coffee.

So, how to solve the coffee problem?

Thank God, Albron once again saves the day. At the canteen, there now is a so called coffee corner, which opens at 8.30am. The coffee and tea are almost four times the normal price, but hey, it’s made with extra love. The coffee is ground from special beans, so that explains why the coffee would be twice as expensive. It’s definitely not worth four times the former price. The tea, however, is still the same. Same water, same tea bags, but four times as expensive.

That leaves students with no other option than to bring their own coffee, tea bags and sugar and buy hot water from the coffee vending machines until the canteen opens.

Until the coffee and tea are cheaper, we’ll boycott the coffee corner!
