We've all been there. You're standing in a super-hip coffee shop, scouring the intimidating list of obscure-looking hot drinks. But, all you really want is a good old fashioned coffee.

The video -- which has been viewed more than 500,000 times -- takes the piss out of the complicated contraptions, expensive price tags, silly wi-fi passwords and unusual crockery often spotted in hipster coffee shops. "I just want a coffee," says a frustrated chap in the video.
