Why not brew coffee at home for a tenth of the price and pour it into an insulated cup that keeps it warm for a half hour and take it with you. Then take the over $1,000/year saved and treat yourself to something.

We’ve always done so but since inflation hit have gone back to Maxwell House and Folger’s instead of locally roasted whole beans. (The struggle is real ;-)

At “Ross” I got a couple of insulated mugs that keep my coffee hot for hours. They were only ten bucks.

Ditto...home roasting rocks. Hot coffee, ice coffee, cold brew...all right at home.

I've been making my own cold brew coffee for the past couple of months. The investment in equipment was quite minimal and I'm enjoying my homemade iced coffee, flavored with different sugar-free syrups I buy at outlet stores.

This is what Mrs. Q & I do in the morning - plus, we get up early enough to enjoy our cappuccinos together while we do our morning devotions. I strongly suggest those insulated glass mugs - they really do keep the coffee warm for a long time.

“Why not brew coffee at home for a tenth of the price and pour it into an insulated cup that keeps it warm for a half hour and take it with you. Then take the over $1,000/year saved and treat yourself to something.”

Recently saw a video wherein a guy calculated that the StarFucks coffee his wife bought 5 days a week worked out to a little over $2,000 per year. He presented her with the numbers because she did not believe him at first.

You can also spike it to help you thru the morning. :)

The problem is that some of these college educated dummies are either too lazy or too dumb to brew their coffee at home.

What? You can actually do that????

It is a strange thing when people will spend 6 dollars for a cup of sub-par coffee made by people hostile to you, who would likely spit in your coffee if they knew who you were, rather than spend the 2 minutes to do it themselves.

I don’t get it either.

“Then take the over $1,000/year saved and treat yourself to something.”

I did exactly that. Over a one year experiment, I used my Kuerig and started making my coffee at home (buying the bogo k-cups at Publix). I then took the cash I usually used for my daily cappuccinos (yes...plural and daily) and stuck it in a jar. At the end of the year, I paid cash for a Breville Barista Touch espresso maker, and buy local beans for GREAT coffee.

Thinking some people are so stupid they can’t figure out how to make coffee at home.
