In buying a coffee with BTC my main concern will be to have to pay at least 5 cents for a transaction fee.
By paying with card the merchant pays the fee while paying with BTC we pay the fees. I think that's the main adoption problem in buying a coffee with my bitcoin

I think you'll find merchants would give you discount to pay in bitcoin. Lot of gas stations give cash discounts, the credit card fees are built into the prices, don't think your not paying them.

I would rather give .5 to a miner, give more money to the merchant and keep 3% away from the bank regardless.

I see what you mean but that is not so straightforward: I proposed to several merchants to start accepting BTC for their own good and to avoid to give their blood to MC/VISA etc.
But man, they are still afraid that BTC is used by terrorists... You see what the media do? Roll Eyes
