It doesn’t work for everything, but a rule of thumb is to move the decimal over one place from 1968 to 2009 for prices on commodity items. Coffee was a dime then (a nickel when used to induce people into coming in and buying other stuff.) It was also when cups of coffee were about a third the size they are now.

McDonald's coffee should be free. It tastes like recycled mop water. Awful.
