Coffee in Ukraine. part 1: "Coffee ON a GO."

Do you like coffee?
I do, so I decided to make a little research on coffee consumption in Ukraine.
With hectic life style we drink our coffee to go more and more often, not to mention that it's the easiest way too.
In NYC pretty much everybody carries a cup in the morning. Starbucks lines are ready to swallow you any time of the day. New York street vendors are selling their concoctions (I wouldn't necessarily call it coffee).






On the World Resource Institute list of countries by coffee consumption per capita Ukraine is number 64 with 1,4 kg. (Number 1 is Finland with 12 kg! USA is on 26th position with 4,2 kg).
I always though that Ukrainians are more sit down have a coffee kind of people. But recently i spotted some changes.



What a genius idea to install a professional coffee machine in the car and voilà.

I tried espresso yesterday and it was rather good.
You can see on the menu/price list lots of choices.


$1 is around 8 hryvnya.

My shot of espresso was around 80 cents. Vendor asks you how much sugar you want (no self service here).




You get your coffee in paper cup, although I haven't noticed a Jumbo size available.
So far I saw 2 different companies providing car coffee.



And I haven't seen any drinking coffee to go people in metro yet.
