    Have you tried brewing your own at home? I’ve gotten into making fresh cups using a single-cup Clever Dripper setup and grind the beans as needed. Soooooo much better than DD/Starbucks and very easy to make. It does take time though (approx 6-7 mins to make a cup start to finish) and a bit of $ to get started (maybe about $100 for dripper, kettle, filters, and beans), but i can’t imagine how much money i would have wasted on so-so (or worse) coffee bought at DD/Starbucks/etc everyday.

      Yes, but sometimes it’s nice to have someone else make it, and to hang out somewhere that’s not my home office.

        Not saying i never buy coffee while I’m out! I just don’t have to go out and buy it every time i want a good cup… And i love a good cup of coffee, lol 💖

        Just throwing it out there–good coffee is easy to make!

      Either a thrifted moka pot or an Aeropress is king in this situation, imo. Super cheap, low barrier of entry, and leaves money for a decent grinder in the budget. Not to mention the super short brew time which is key for a lot of people.

      Also, get a hand frother! Life changer for making your home cuppa feel higher class.
