Very true, they are very adaptable. After the scandal they did a reset and actually got their direction correct. Now huat until cannot recognize house.

first cup 99cent is worth it
after that even with 40% 60% all those discount voucher, its still more expensive than local uncle who make nicer coffee.
its a gimmick ppl see discount voucher will buy think its cheap, but actually thats the price they expect to sell.
they run voucher mode super often.

this type business concept means if one day stop voucher nobody will buy.
its a very common gimmick where constantly throw voucher make people think its cheap and buy.
actually its okay only.
But price still better than Starbucks or Coffeebean right? No offer then don’t drink, got offer then drink.

Their 60% off voucher damn good. Will get 1-2 times a month. Too bad their outlets either have limited seating or no seats.

Coffee bean also got 50% off iced drinks. Damn shiok to go chill at their 24hr outlets at midnight in this blardy hot weather...

i grind starbucks roasted beans coz it's easily available and only $13.53 for 200g. that's enough for a month of coffee

coffee chains have moved away from the original bitter taste & added flavorings & sweeteners which are artificial & low value add. that's no longer coffee. it's the same with fastfood. burgers have fanciful toppings in order to reduce the amount of meat

the most expensive ingredient in coffee is coffee, and the most expensive ingredient in a burger is the meat

I dun care about simi luckin I just want our usual stuffs to be fuggin cheaper.

Now Yakun because of social media hype they get a lot of tourists patronising and taking pics/ clips and they can keep raising prices. And you have the usual working crowd who dun like angmo kopi and continue to visit Yakun. But for long time supporters who are not working or making as much as before the higher prices have made Yakun out of reach.

For me, it will be local kpt/ HC kopi when alone. When meeting friends we used to include Yakun but now instead of going to 3 places for makan + la kopi + desserts, we do 3-in-1 at buffets. And I will go to Starbucks if need to burn 2 hours or so alone.

Dun think Luckin is cheap + good + comfortable enough to justify me using their app.

Starbucks people buy a cuppa and sit there the whole day. Where's Luckin doesn't need to rent a big space as most shops do not have seats.

Luckin allows for purchase via app and provides frequent updates to when the coffee can be collected while Starbucks have to wait for barista to call your name.

Luckin offer paper bags and coffee holder even for a simple coffee.

Luckin has more hot cuppa options while Starbucks mostly every one goes for cold drinks. The cup you get for the prices is unbelievable large compared to overpriced yakun or toastbox

Lastly, luckin is way cheaper with promos and no force you to buy a prepaid card like starbucks

Nowadays it's hard to find hot coffee.

All in all, luckin is still the better choice. Please support them and buy more!
