My picks of best London coffee spots. Win up to £100 with this competition too

Because I remember the author's thread about getting more karma, I'd suggest that the odds of this story being successful on Hacker News are diminished by the promotion of a marketing gimmick in the headline.

It turns the post's intent from a 'here is something that might be useful for you' to 'here is something that might be useful for me, the author'.

Good luck.

Pret is dismissed early in the article, but having previously been an espresso lover, I'm now hooked on Pret's filter coffee. At 99p a cup it has the best bang for buck of any takeaway coffee, and although I occasionally encounter a rough batch, it is usually more flavoursome than most espresso based beverages.
