I’ve been boycotting them since I did a cup/price analysis vis a vis my own Mr. Coffee.
Using organic coffee no less I have a lower price/cup. With organic cream and organic sugar or stevia to boot.
And it’s hot in my own kitchen, drunk in my jammies and I don’t have to get OUT in the cold and nasty weather to get that overpriced burnt coffee. I think the nearest one is about 25 or 30m from my house anyways. So add $15 to the price of that cup just for the gas to/from there and sitting in traffic.
No comparison.
Too much drip coffee aggravates my ulcer and makes me jittery. And I like the social aspect of going to a coffee house. But there indie coffee places in downtown Everett. At home I also drink Medaglia d’Oro instant. It’s not your grandfathers instant coffee. It’s very good, and can also be used in recipes.
