re: Make your own coffee or buy it each day?

I have a basic drip pot and grind whole beans for each batch. Whole setup, grinder and pot cost less than $30. I am very adventurous with what beans I buy. The freezer has 6 or 7 pounds of different types. Its quick, cheap, and the only way to fly.

That being said, most of my coffee is consumed at work, especially during the week. I convinced the office to switch from the God awful Cafe Especial to River Roads and it has been a big improvement.

Like several have said, I only drink coffee out when I am traveling or there is a strange situation.
