I started to drink coffee less and less because it is simply TOO EXPENSIVE to drink outside.

If I make my own drink, it would only be about taste, not cost.  As you said, it takes 10-15 mins to just make a drink.  I think I can put that 15 mins to work and buy 5 cups of lattes with the money.

yes. That's the way to go. There are sure better and cooler coffee places than SB...
I am totally anti-SB.

yes, there are better coffee places, but they are not as densely located as SBUX and compared to other chains at least SBUX maintains a certain standard.

seriously, 40 years of coffee would only cost you $40,000.  (Let's forget about inflation for now).  How much will you make in your whole life?  Forget about inflation once again, maybe $2 million?  3 million? 5 million?  Let's take a midpoint and say $3 million with no inflation adjustment. So what's $40,000 out of 3 million?

    That's pre-tax amount...
But even 0.00005% of total income...or whatever percentage...sometimes it's a matter of worth to spend or not...it's not actually the amount itself.

exactly right
so at the end of the day it's about how much you think a cup of coffee is worth to you

Coffee is actually beneficial as it contains anti-oxidants.

    Depends on the quantity. Also it contains caffine that is not as good to the body.

If you want anti-oxident it's better to drink tea.

as I said before I don't like my coffee getting cold
and my mug only holds a bit under 16oz
and I pay tall prices for it anyway

your idea is good but it's probably better to be used on something else

your coffee should not get cold when you have a refill

I have a coffee cup from SBUX that keep liquid hot for six hours (air tight not open)
you should try it ... SBUX have it once a while

NEVER buy plastic mug....never hold hot temp as long as metal ones



your 16 oz cup should never charge with grenade price..

16 oz cup from SBUX only reach 16 OZ when you don't put the lid on ( at the riim)
