There can be a number of reasons why you’re not able to leave the house, stop it.

I ordered Starbucks delivered once during the pandemic, but felt weird just getting a coffee, so I also got an iced coffee, two food things (bfast, and lunch) and a pound of coffee to make it $30, and i left a 10 dollar tip (it's a mile away).

This isn't medication, or even groceries. It's overpriced coffee, a luxury item we buy with our disposable income. An actual human is spending gas, time, and wear and tear on their car. Even with a 30% tip, it's costing them money to deliver it.

That’s the job, though. And on top of everything, they don’t even have to accept so all your points are moot.

I was agreeing with you. And from what I've been told, some of these delivery services don't tell you what the order is until you've accepted it. If you reject too many times, your account gets frozen for a period of time.

My bad, sorry if I misunderstood. I think we’re also on the same page that it’s not an easy job. I’m just confused regarding all the criticisms of the customer ordering a coffee. That’s the service…any other nonsense that happens outside of that has nothing to do with the customer 🤷‍♂️

Honestly, I think someone could make a killing with a coffee truck that roams neighborhoods like an ice cream truck.

Your smug comment really contributes to the conversation.

I’m curious why you don’t think that’s a good suggestion, aside from you thinking it’s a smug comment. Ordering coffee thru delivery is kind of weird, IMO.

Why is it weird? That’s the service that Doordash provides. Drivers don’t need to accept.

It’s the same thing if someone orders an Uber to go three blocks to avoid the rain…not ideal but that’s the job (that driver aren’t forced to accept).

We’re talking about 2 different things. I understand that the driver can decline. It’s the ordering coffee from Door Dash and other delivery services that is being questioned and discussed further. I think that making your own at home is much better/fresher/blah blah than waiting for it to be delivered…gets cold/gets warm/oops the driver spilled your coffee…that’s why I think it’s weird.

I make my own coffee at home. Not disagreeing with you that it’s a more convenient option.

Theyre all equally plausible 🤷 not mad at anyone besides the person being a lazy twit to order a 4 dollar coffee and 2 of those is probably the tip

I guess lazy twits employ DoorDash drivers 🤷‍♂️

If it’s iced, the ice will be melted. If it’s hot, it will be lukewarm. There is no good reason to get Starbucks delivery. Order K cups, a jug of cold coffee, or instant coffee from the supermarket and get that delivered. Makes way more sense.

Get a French press and some decent ground coffee and you can have better quality coffee for less without the environmental impact of dumb plastic k-cups. You can even make cold brew. If you want to start going crazy, get a scale and a cheap blade grinder and start grinding your beans. Much better than k-cups or delivered Starbucks coffee.

I was choosing the laziest methods I could think of, in comparison to getting Starbucks delivered.

I’ve thought about getting a French press for home again. I have this dumb fucking machine that does k-cups and has also the carafe but I can never get the scoops right. It doesn’t make the coffee good enough.

Food scales my dude. Ideally coffee and water should always be weighed at a 1:15 - 1:20 ratio depending on your taste, meaning for every 15 grams of coffee there should be 225 - 300 grams of water (this produces 1 coffee). A French press typically brews up to 4 coffee (do the math). The problem with scoops is that there is no standard measurement and no two people scoop the same.

Not all drip machines are designed equally. There’s a whole bunch of factors here, including basket vs cone filters, brew temperatures, pooling and channeling, and the heat plate underneath the carafe burning your coffee. Your machine could be old and need to be descaled. This is why French presses are such a fool proof way to start out making better coffee.

What does this have to do with anything? Doordash exists for this purpose. Drivers don’t have to accept. End of story.
