mackem 23,676 Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 There's a McDonald's and a Tim Horton opened right next to each other here so a dollar a coffee, but they have stopped the unlimited refills. Had a really nice cup at an independent yesterday 2 dollars 50 cents. Spent a bit of time on a small coffee farm, real bean to cup, interesting to see how much work goes into a coffee. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poxon 5,555 Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Buying coffee on the go is a expensive game Costa £2.80 a cup greggs £2.55 a cup soon adds up I had a average on 3 a day sometimes more depending on going from building site to site roughly £40 a working 5day week in coffee alone about 2k a year in coffee lol feck that! Plus drinking it like water at home soon started catching up with me giving me insomnia type symptoms because I was constantly pepped up. I make a coffee at home in the morning now in a thermos cup to drive to my first job I drink just water through out the day then a coffee on arrival home then drink herbal teas if i want a hot drink but stick to water mainly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,622 Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 I live on instant! Total f***ing philistine too, the cheapest supermarket home branded stuff and just pour it into a mug out of the jar. Probably 90% of my daily fluid intake. I couldn’t tell a good one from a bad one. I paid two quid at the farm cafe for one this morning though, but in town it’d be nearer 4-5. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I rarely drink anything then than water , lucazade or coffee we’ve got a proper machine in the office stacked with granules from a coffee firm called contact coffee , some of the names are a bit cringe but it’s part an parcel of the whole instagram CrossFit operator image , I get those 3 in 1 sachets and bury them constantly all day .
