MFW I buy a large flat white (coffee) to drink on the train every day for $5. Probably costs $1000 annually but it tastes so good

I would just occasionally buy the $5 coffee because then you'll enjoy it more.

I can't get home-made coffee to taste as good as the cafe stuff.

Maybe I should go all out and spend 1k on something nice at home. Maybe after 2 weeks of straight research

Start out with a coffee plunger. You can buy a good one for ~$20.
Then you find some nice beans. Buy them from somewhere that will grind them appropriately for your plunger, or buy a cheap electric grinder ($30-40). Grinding yourself just before you use it is better for taste imo.
DO NOT overgrind or the powder will be too fine for your plunger.

The plunger needs to sit for a good few minutes before you plunge it. Gives you time to jump under the shower or eat breakfast.

Then buy a nice thermal travel mug you can take with you.

pic related. What Im drinking atm. Bit pricey but fucking delicious.

Okay, two things.
1- Money is a commodity you spend to get things you enjoy. I'd rather get my afterlunch coffee every day like i'm used to rather than save the two bucks a day I spend on it and go without.

2- American coffee is fucking awful and you should feel bad for enjoying it.

Thanks for that but I've already tried plunger coffee and the texture is different from cafe quality flat white coffee. Not as good. I haven't tried grinding my own beans though.

How much are you investing a month in a taxable account? Once I started contributing regularly, I went out of my way to save more to invest. Now I buy cofree and lunch once a week, and drink the free office coffee other days.

Assuming you do this 5 days a week...

5 x 52 = 260 days
260 x 5 = $1300 spent in a year
1300 x 5 = $6500 in 5 years

You could max a year worth of Roth IRA contributions.

starbucks is overpriced m8, you should know that

just get a regular coffee then, it's $2. is that better?

>> No.787642

seriously you guys need to do one of two things;

either get a french press, some good grounds, and make your own cold brew

or

buy cold fusion coffee. If you're going to pay five bucks for a starbucks coffee everyday, you may as well drink something quality. Literally the only good thing about starbucks is the 400 calories worth of syrup and garbage they pump into it; their coffee, stripped of sugar and other garbage, is burnt, nasty shit.

Now Cold Fusion coffee, you can drink that straight. If you feel like it, add a single teaspoon of sugar, and it'll taste better than any coffee that's touched your lips before.

Caffeine addiction will ruin you. My mother gets intolerable throbbing headaches every morning if she doesn't drink it. I'd recommend many recreational drugs over this one.

I go through $5 in sparkling water every day.

I get anxious if I'm running low and usually don't go a few hours without.

You do know they have water carbonators now that are actually super simple to use right?

Buying specialty coffee drinks I can understand since it's probably more effort than it's worth to make it yourself, but carbonated water is easy as fuck.

If you buy a simple soda stream or something, it'll probably pay itself off in less than a month.

I'm aware. I'm torn because no counter space already and they only make like 750ml at a time...I've seen them in person and the quality is shittier than the brands I buy.

I wish I could make it at home with the same quality. I'm sure there's a solution but I've not looked enough yet. Also, it's worth it for not going throw so much goddamn glass and plastic. Fuck.
