But the coffee is free.

London just got its first pay-per-minute "anti-cafe." At Ziferblat, the coffee is free. But guests pay 3 pence (about 5 cents) per minute for the privilege of sitting around.

Besides coffeemakers, Ziferblat offers a kitchen, record player, piano, vintage furniture, and of course, Wi-Fi. So if you’re not exactly picky about coffee, $3 for an hour could be a good time.
