slo’s FRIDAY 4/21 poll - Brew vs Take Out Coffee

[slo]

Do you brew your own coffee or do you buy take out coffee?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..I always brew my own.
The coffee pot has a timer, so my coffee is waiting for me when I wake up.
I’m not against take out coffee - I will buy it sometimes when I’m out of town and can’t make my own - that’s not very often, and even then I will drink hotel coffee instead of buy take out coffee (I’m a cheapskate - LOL) Even though I drink take out coffee about 5% out of the year - I voted that I drink my own 100% of the time.

Same as you, @slo, I make my own almost 100% of the time.

Same.

 

[Jangles]

The only time I buy take out coffee is at WDW. I prefer Joffreys to Starbucks. I have various blends of bean at home, and a few different French press pots, an espresso pot and a little Greek coffee pot. I cannot survive without coffee. ️

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I voted "brew my own" 100% of the time. It's close enough to round up to 100%. The only time I get take out coffee is if I have a gift card and some extra time on my hands, which seems to be about never.

I keep a variety of Keurig K-Cups to keep things interesting. My "to go" coffee is I brew 2 cups into one of those insulated travel mugs and take that with me. I have completely given up on using a regular coffee maker, I just cannot make anything that is drinkable. I use the K Cups because there is no way I can mess that up. It does get expensive, but I try to buy them on sale and use coupons.

*I too will drink hotel coffee instead of getting takeout because I am a cheapskate, and too lazy to go out anywhere to get coffee somewhere else.

I put 100% also.

I generally brew my own at home, recently favoring my Nespresso clone for really strong coffee. At work we have a communal Keurig and a shared drip brew. Kind of have a coffee club with people bringing various beans to be ground and used in the shared pot.

We do have an on-site Dunkin and I sometimes get a specialty or cold coffee there. Weekends I do grab specialty brews at Starbucks.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Brew my own daily as I drink a pot a day
On vacation I bring my own as Starbucks makes instant packs - I will purchase some in the Parks or on the Ship but otherwise I usually don’t purchase coffee - I’m not against it - nope I love coffee it just gets too expensive - Target is bad enough and then they put a Starbucks in there ?? Come on you’re killing me ! I bring my own coffee in my BIG Disney Starbucks mug to shop

 

[Disneylover99]

Got a pot brewing right now.
I rarely get a take out coffee.

 

[firefly_ris]

Same as slo, about 95% of the time I'm brewing at home. It would be a big money suck otherwise.

I will buy coffee on vacation here and there but I do also brew hotel coffee (even though a lot of it is so bad. But I douse my coffee in creamer). I sometimes receive Starbucks gift cards for my birthday and I usually save those for trips.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I make my own daily. On cruises I have to buy and very infrequently I may want a speciality coffee at Starbucks, but usually, I am a “one large mug of coffee a day“ person.

 

[Minnesota!]

A pot is made here each morning, but if we are out and about, I do enjoy Kwik Trip coffee. I'm too cheap to pay for the stuff Starbucks calls coffee, and Caribou is a once in a while treat when I feel like wasting money.

 

[Kitty 34]

Mr. Coffee and Maxwell House are my buddies in the morning.

 

[Smugpugmug]

I make coffee at home 100% of the time except if I'm on vacation. On some trips I do bring a coffee maker and will make some in the hotel room.

 

[JaxDad]

I brew a pot of espresso every morning with one of these. If I’m out and about, I’ll sometimes add an iced cold brew from Dunkin (and maybe avocado toast with bacon).

 

[1420Elexismc]

I make my own about 90% of the time now and occasionally grab coffee if I’m out to breakfast or had to leave early for an errand or something…the only time I will have take out consistently is if I’m away somewhere on vacation…because I do not want to cook anything on vacation lol

 

[CdnCarrie]

I buy a takeout coffee from McDonald’s sometimes on Saturday afternoon when running errands. Every morning I brew my own and take it in a thermos to work. Like you Slo I drink hotel coffee on vacation rather than take out!

 

[BleuB]

I use a Nespresso at home and a Moka Pot when I'm camping. The only time I buy coffee is on vacation.

 

[Colleen27]

I'm somewhere about roughly in the middle of brewing my own 75% or 100% of the time. I'm fairly fussy about coffee so I would rather brew my own than stop at a gas station or fast food place for it, but if I know I'm going to be in certain neighborhoods near coffee shops I like, I will occasionally splurge on a take-out cup. And I often get take-out coffee while traveling, not because I don't drink what's provided in the room but because I drink more than one cup most days and seldom remember to request extra coffee supplies from housekeeping. With 2 or 3 coffee drinkers in the room on most trips, our joke has become that hotels give you just enough coffee to wake up enough to go get coffee.

 

[AppleDumpling]

This topic seems to come up here often. I don’t like coffee. I never drink it. However, I own a coffee maker (actually two), so I can make it for guests in my home.
