Can you use Bitcoin to buy a coffee?

Question

Talk Merit asked this question in the Bitcoin Talk forum, and received some interesting replies

Will you ever be able to buy a coffee with Bitcoin

The problems seem to stem from the long(ish) confirmation times, and the risk that the transaction will fail or be cancelled before it is confirmed.

Answer 1

I found  couple of interesting videos about this on youtube'

This one shows a coffee purchase using the lightning network

This one shows a Bitcoin only coffee shop. The guy in it is a bit of an incompetent, and the music is noisy rubbish, so start it with muted sound.
