both, because sometimes I wanna go through the effort to have a quality cup, and sometimes I just want somebody to hand me coffee

keurigs suck, just get a normal coffee pot

I buy it because I don't leave myself enough time in the morning to do anything except for shower and leave. I want a drip coffee maker instead of the Keurig we currently have, but our space for appliances is already limited. I need to break my terrible sleeping habits.

Aeropress usually, but I'll occasionally grab a local coffee if I have to leave early for some reason

Reusable kcups are so easy. Get some. I use an Aeropress for your great flavor, but it's a bit of a pain to have to reset it if you want to use it twice in a day.

Buying coffee takes longer than brewing, so I typically bring some with me.

But for holiday shopping or weekends out, I'll start by visiting cafe for a little bit.

I don't have a fancy coffee maker at home, so when I make coffee it's just some instant coffee and it's not as satisfying as getting a real barista made cup.
So... both sometimes

I go all the way. We buy our beans in bulk, then roast them ourselves.

The roasted beans go into the hopper in my baratza burr grinder, and then every morning I boil water and do pour-overs.

I don't think my coffee situation could be any better.

Black coffee from my Keurig... Done.

Maybe on weekends I'll go out and get coffee. Not to say I'm above it or anything, but since switching to black coffee there seems to be little reason to pay for at DD or Starbucks.

I make instant coffee most of the time (an espresso type I bought during finals being a favorite) with regular coffee being secondary. I never buy coffee unless it's a frappuccino, I'm too lazy to make one myself.

Buy beans or grounds and use my French press, it's the way to go. I do tend to drink more tea though.

Both I guess. I make the shittest coffee possible at home but then buy better coffees whenever I'm outside.

I make it. Adds less time to my routine than the drive through does and costs maybe 10% of what the drive through costs, not to mention it's more consistently a good cup of coffee.

Chug diet soda or energy drinks. Most of my work is done from home and my brain is too fucked in the morning to possibly operate a coffee machine without already having caffeine in my system.

No option for people who just don't drink it?

I flip flop on coffee. Sometimes I enjoy drinking it somewhat, but most of the time I have no interest. I prefer pop or energy drinks, though they're obviously worse for me and I've felt consequences.

I didn't like coffee's taste and am just now, over the last couple or few years, starting to be able to tolerate and sometimes enjoy it. Even then I go for hot chocolate when possible.

My roommate makes it daily, but I almost never drink it at home, and only seldomly get it out. It was free at a course I attended though, so I drank 2-3 a day, sometimes more. I sleep like shit and it was easy to grab.

I don't drink it anymore but when I did always at home. It's pretty inexpensive to make at home while rather expensive to buy it. It's also just as good if not better at home.

Recent coffee convert here. I really enjoy buying beans, grinding them and using a French Press. Pretty fast, consistent and in the end much cheaper.

Highly recommended.

I only ever buy coffee if I have absolutely no other choice.

My coffee pot is easily the most used non-appliance thing in my kitchen, and for damn good reason.

Home, but occasionally I go to coffee shops.

Grinding fresh beans every morning and brewing it really is hard to beat.

Both. I make it at home every morning (beans + grinder + a handful of contraptions) and sometimes go out during the day with coworkers for a nice walk and a break from work. A lot of coffee places around here make better coffee than I could ever make so that's nice too.

Make it at home. I'm not sure why anyone would buy from Starbucks or whatever, but I'm not too interested in speciality coffees so...Guess the convience and fancy machines work for them.

Depends on my day. If I'm just going to be home, I'll make coffee. Similarly, if I am up early enough before work to make breakfast, I'll also make coffee but the later is so rare and I usualy just buy it when I'm in a hurry since there's a Dunkin Donut like a block away from me.
