Final answer:

The unit rate of coffee priced at $2 per pound is $2 per pound, which means each pound of coffee costs $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to determine the unit rate for coffee priced at $2 per pound in a coffee shop.

The unit rate is the cost for one unit of an item when the cost for multiple units is known.

In this case, since coffee costs $2 for every pound, the unit rate is simply $2 per pound.

This is because the unit rate is the price of one pound of coffee, which is the information directly provided in the question.
