The one where I just get a cup from my MrCoffee drip coffee maker and stay home.
Neither. Place is packed both places.
This is why I make coffee at home.
The top one. I’m tired and I’d rather rest on my car seat in the warm interior than on one of those wooden chairs. I ride bikes a lot, 5000 km per year and I advocate for walk ability but nothing beats a coffee in my warm car on a 6am commute where it’s 6°c outside
This post backfired spectacularly on OP, didn’t it?
Actually, no, it didn’t. Unlike many children of the internet, I can learn and expand my horizons with new vantages. Many people take coffee in a variety of ways, as it appears. By illustrating this dichotomy, in the end, I could better unravel the tapestry that is coffee drinking, thereby enriching my life. Sorry if this disappoints, but as Monty Python said, “Always look on the bright side of life.”
I’d much rather make my own coffee at home. It’s pennies on the dollar compared to this shit, and I’m not spending an extra half hour or more out of my day for something I’ll consume in minutes once it reaches optimal drinking temperature.
I use an aeropress, which allows me to make concentrated coffee that I can store in the fridge. I pour a little into an insulated travel cup and just add hot water when I want to drink it - either just before going on a drive, or after I get to work. I take a proper mug with me to work along with it and pour into it out of the travel cup. It’s one of the highlights of my day.
I hate drive-through culture and am glad to not have anything to do with it, but I’m also not a big fan of sitting in public spaces amongst a bunch of strangers who actually like slurping down sugary caffeine drinks out of paper cups.
