Easy. Just make your own coffee. It's cheap. Start with an Aero Press, a cheap grinder and a decent water cooker. Nice beans. Done.

Is a water cooker different than a kettle? Serious question from someone who just started non-drip coffee.

Surprisingly my shitty Starbucks lattes are still around 5-6 dollars.

Latte is about €3-5 here and no tip expected, so no.

The year is 2024.

You walk into your local coffee shop. A latte costs $12.

You have the choice of tipping 75%, 95%, or 125%.

You sheepishly tap "75%" and feel bad about yourself.

The barista shakes his head in disgust.

I couldn't tell you, I stopped going to coffee bars when the coffee became more than half my hourly wage, I'll make my own coffee thank you very much.

Can't even go to a McDonald's anymore without spending at least $16, I've stopped going to McDonald's and started ordering Applebee's because if I'm spending $20 on a meal anyway I might as well spent $4 more on there two for 24 deal and get like three times the amount of food
