Wanting Some Store Prepared Coffee

Amazon is a good place to buy the stuff that they make their coffee with - I got the white chocolate mocha sauce by the gallon, I got a nespresso machine 2 Black Fridays ago, and I just get a Great Value whipped cream. Tastes the same, and the way I want my coffee usually costs $3.50-$4.00. That's about $1,440 a year just for coffee. So I guess when friends and family want to give me gifts, I am easy - give me scented candles or coffee gift cards. I noticed that for some, buying expensive coffee is a status symbol. They take pictures of their coffee orders and post it on their social media, like "look at me, I can afford this coffee! I'm living the high life!". But I guess to each their own. I have a tea set for when I want my tea, and I have our kettle and Nespresso machine for brewing coffee. I swear they all taste the same.

@JimBo452020 It is awesome, but lord knows it's not good for us for everyday use because of the sugar content. Just a nice splash here and there for when we deserve that extra kick and extra will-power that only coffee can provide.

@Raine38 I was a bit of a coffee snob Jura Intensa E10 Machine Barista Jimbo But it broke and now it's fresh ground only in a fancy filter machine with a shower head. Its not the same, but does the job. White Chocolate Mocha Sauce sounds awesome

With this pandemic, it is harder to get together with some friends for coffee.

@Raine38 You're right but I was able to do it once with my friends recently.

I think it's the convenience and the special flavors that we do not have access to that makes these coffee appealing to me. Of course I cannot afford buying $3-$4 of coffee per cup on a daily basis.

They're my favorite too, especially if I am wanting some breakfast sandwich as well. They have a good selection of sandwiches.

I don't know, it's weird. My husband said maybe it's the packaging, so he got me those same paper coffee cups that Starbucks would use, but still I want their coffee, or any coffee prepared from a store.

Thanks, I did a mobile pickup instead of walking in. It was a nice short drive, got to see the sun for about 10 minutes.

That is best for early morning, while trying to plan your day and look forward to it at the same time.

Isn't it a nice treat every once in a while? But of course I cannot justify spending $3-$4 everyday just for a cup of coffee.

That's the biggest lesson after the kind of year we all had last year.

I think it's also the whole experience - the chance to get out, go for a short drive, and interact with the barista. Especially during this time when we are mostly confined inside our home for the most part.

Hopefully this year will be a little bit different. Hopefully!

@Raine38 You are very right that this year will be a bit different

Indeed. Even for someone like me who is an introvert and a homebody, I can no longer stay cooped up inside any longer.

@Raine38 yeah we can't sad.
