We go out for coffee almost every day too, unless there's too much stuff to do at work.  I don't know why people think it's a lot of money but to me a $3 latte is a very cheap way to give yourself a little boost and reward for another few hours of work.  Although I have a grinder and french press on my desk, I usually still go out.

Even for $3 a day, $3 * 30 * 12 is just about $1K.  Pretty insignificant.  I feel like ppl wouldn't hesitate to spend on big ticket items like a new HDTV or a brand name handbag, but always try to save a couple bucks a day.

my office already serves starbucks coffee so it's the same thing.  but I think coffee break is more about relaxation rather than the coffee itself.

小數係怕長計
問題係你要唔飲300杯咖啡先han返1000蚊
不如將D時間同心機睇下點樣搵1000蚊好過啦

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?

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

Starbucks is only expensive when you do not know how to order.

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

快樂牛郎

your coffee should not get cold when you have a refill

I have a coffee cup from SBUX that keep liq ...

ya I bought my mug at SBUX.

I can never finish a venti size anyway and refill is free so it doesn't matter what size you use for refill
