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

Probably half the 1,000 people in my building stop by either Starbucks or the cafeteria for $3-4 cups. Then they pay for their lunch (another $10). Every single day. That shite adds up.

Yep. The only reason I don't go to Starbucks more than maybe once every two weeks is because they are usually so damn slammed in the morning. It's a circus in there.
If I had a good local shop near me, I would go there. Don't care much for PJ's or Community shops.

I have a distant relative who works for Starbucks in their main corporate building in Seattle. She said that every floor has a set up where they can make their own coffee drinks and such, but many people go to the first floor where there is a shop where they would rather pay someone to make it for them.

I bought a 150 dollar coffee maker for my GF and she rarely makes it. I flipped out about it so now she makes it each morning but dramatically to make sure I know just how hard her life is.

Make my own.
1) Love coffee/must have it daily
2) I don’t have time to stop for it

That’s the thing. When I’m leaving to go somewhere the last thing I’m doing is leaving a little earlier to buy a $6 cup of coffee. Screw that.

The office has free coffee about half the reason I even stop by there in the mornings

Make my own. Also, office coffee. Only time I pay for coffee is if I’m grabbing breakfast on the go and it comes with it.

I used to live on Starbucks and CC's. Had my phase and overspent like hell. Never again

will never understand the logic behind buying a cup or two each day when we have $20 coffee makers that will brew at a predetermined time each day for you at a fraction of the cost

No different than the dumb asses who will go to the gas station to buy a bottle of water when I can bet most have a filtered water dispenser on their refrigerator.

This! Would rather make my coffee at home- This way I know what I’m getting.
Nothing worse than paying for a crappy cup of coffee.

.75 at the Marathon by the house. Fill your own cup, any size. Community Coffee medium roast. They have a bean grinder and a refrigerated dispenser for real 1/2 and 1/2, or french vanilla. Considering the 1/2 and 1/2, free sweetener and left-over in the pot, I can't make it any cheaper.
