Whenever I see one of those giant lines at a coffee drive-thru in the morning, I always wonder why someone would choose to do that every day. Is it to save time by not having to make coffee? Is it because the coffee tastes better than if they made it themselves? I agree that sometimes it is worthwhile to pay a professional—but for coffee? I can make excellent coffee at home in minutes with a mug, a funnel and filter, and a coffee grinder and some beans. I can also make a week's worth for the cost of one purchased at a coffee shop. I can only guess that the attraction is not having to make it yourself and having enough time to sit in your car waiting for your coffee so you can text your friends or post a twitter about waiting in line for your coffee.
