In response, stall owner Li Yuanquan highlighted to Shin Min the various discounts available for students, hotel guests and members of the complex's merchants association."We set a fixed price so when calculating discounts, it's easier and more efficient to calculate. The drinks we brew using our coffee maker are also of good quality," he added. Lee said he purchased the espresso machine for $8,000 and sourced high-quality coffee powder to serve customers. "The coffee powder we use is 30 per cent more expensive than ordinary coffee powder, and the machine needs to be serviced half-yearly, which is another expense."A diner, surnamed Chen, told the Chinese newspaper that a cup of his teh C costs slightly more than other coffee shops, but he believes the price point is reasonable considering the location of the food court. Another diner surnamed Wei said he frequents the drinks stall as it is the only food court in the area. According to him, a cup of coffee used to cost $1.40.]
