You may not like it, it is not expensive.
$2 for 20 ounces
restaurant $3 for 6 ounces
It isn’t cheap by any stretch of the imagination. Just one burnt cup of Starbucks a day is $60 a month and most Starbucks people buy two or three, plus a seven dollar scone.
I am not sure what restaurants you frequent, but a couple bucks is all that is charged at most restaurants with unlimited refills. Even at three dollars, they always keep pouring and with fewer liberals.
It is much less than that at any gas station and many of those have excellent coffees and are almost always fresh. (bring your own cup and it can be less than a dollar) and their food is probably fresher and certainly cheaper.
Bonus: Almost always served by someone with fewer tattoos and piercings than your highly educated underemployed ‘barista’.
Their coffee is burnt, over priced and pretentious. That is only my opinion, but for two cups of Starbucks I can purchase a very good bag of coffee and make ten cups a day for a week at home.
