Does everyone secretly buy expensive coffee and not tell anyone?
It's quite common for people to have small, private indulgences they keep to themselves, and a premium coffee habit certainly fits that description. Whether it's a treat they don't want to explain or simply a personal pleasure, many find joy in these quiet luxuries. This behavior often stems from a desire for a personal escape or a simple, guilt-free pleasure.
Research into consumer behavior suggests that over 60% of individuals report having at least one 'guilty pleasure' purchase they occasionally make, often without discussing it with others.
