My barista is me and I pour exactly the right amount into my coffee.

Make coffee at home? Beside them canisters get pretty gnarly if they aren’t cleaned properly.

You can’t make coffee at home if you are out and are not at home.

try talking to the barista, I’m sure they’ll accommodate your special cream needs

I always ask for it “on the side” at Starbucks, it’s funny how much longer it takes them to punch that into the order

…. special cream needs 🥲

You guys need a Wawa…

What if I like paying $4 for coffee!?

Wawa on 14th would be pretty clutch. I think the closest is in Harrison :(

Be interesting to know whether, despite an increase in time to produce an order, is there a significant savings in cost of milk/cream/sugar/stirrers not lost to wastage and theft?

Quick Google search says Starbucks uses 160,000,000 gallons of milk annually. Figure a tiny savings like half a percent milk saved each year due to avoiding theft or large pours. That's still 8,000,000 gallons saved and assuming a mass quality average of $2 p/gallon that's $16 million saved annually.

Add in the more expensive milk options and ballpark probably looking at $50 million or more saved each year.

LUXURY CREAMING NEEDS

CONTROL THE CREAM

Pretty affordable considering that Rebel & Lion charges $6 for 12oz.

Wait, so you’re telling me you don’t carry a Chemex Pour Over set wherever you go?

But there’s a flaw in your logic…using myself as an example, I prefer significantly less half and half in my coffee than most baristas pour for me, so they’re actually using more by pouring it for me vs letting me pour my preferred amount. How many others like me are out there? And now I ask for it on the side, which they then pour an excess amount into an espresso sized cup with a lid, causing cup and lid prices to rise. So is the savings actually a wash?
