This latte is only $1.00, and that should be warning enough.

Sign announcing the new $1.00 latte at 7-Eleven, Cambie Street, Vancouver, BC

7-Eleven has had cheap coffees before. For a few weeks all sizes of poured coffees were $1.00. Now the $1.00 price point has been extended to lattes.

You do tend to get what you pay for. I will try this coffee, but I don't have high hopes.

Fresh ground and fresh milk are a start, but for a real latte I'd be looking for fresh roasted and well made, two elements that are not mentioned.

Perhaps I should not be so sceptical. This coffee might be quite acceptable. Perhaps, but I think rather unlikely. I'll report back at the end of the week.
