FrostKing, Coffee is very cheap if you actually just make it. Maybe not cheaper than 4¢ tea bags sure, but cheap.
Edit: if anyone is curious about making coffee simply at home, buy a French press (fancy doesn’t matter, get a $15 one on Amazon) and some coffee grounds (taste is just an experiment of what brand you like. Eventually you’ll want to grind your own beans but don’t worry about it for now. If you can, get medium grind grounds, as that’s supposed to be good for French presses) follow a guide online for making it. You’ll need a way to measure hot water like a kettle, but that’s the same for tea so hey.
LeafOnTheWind, Eh a lot of people, including myself, don’t notice a big difference with pre ground coffee and grinding it yourself.
A moka pot is another good option though. Similarly simple and makes a stronger brew. I think of it as halfway to espresso.
Enigma, I was so obsessed with Dutch Bros Paris tea that I went and ordered a bag so I’d stop spending $5/day going there. It’s still the best tea that I’ve ever drank, IMO. Add some agave and it’s my own little Dutch bros at home.
Harney & Sons is the brand they use.
ericbomb, I should try and convince my GF to do that, she is addicted to dutch bros!
Enigma, Their tea is cheap as well. I got 3 bags/150 satchets for like $50.
Mr_Blott, Are you telling us you were spending $5 every day on a cup of tea, and then you bought 150 teabags for $50?
fushuan, It’s not that expensive, here a package of Twinnings Earl Grey costs like 4-5€, and it comes with 25ish teabags. If they really like it, 50 for 150 is 15 times cheaper than what they were paying before so idk.
Enigma, Not everyday, but most days. I had always intended to buy the tea myself, but kept forgetting to look at the tag, finally my husband took a picture of it. In my defense I was pregnant att and pregnancy brain is a real thing.
bappity, I can’t stomach coffee anymore so can’t have it even if I wanted to 😩 and if i try it just makes me more tired and sickly
tdawg, Eh. I went espresso -> (homemade) coffee -> coffee & tea, over the years
SexualPolytope, Homemade espresso >>>
(Of course, if it’s financially viable for you. In any case, try not to become an addict.)
NigelFrobisher, (edited ) Just put milk and sugar into your virgin black tea to turn it into the chad builder’s tea.
UserNotFound, (edited ) Funny. I stopped drink energy drinks few years ago. I started going night shifts, and I used energy drinks and coffee. Then, I once said to myself I don’t like the taste of energy drinks. I stopped drink energy drinks just in one day. Never have then since. Five years and still counting. On the other side, I started slightly drink more coffee.
PatFussy, (edited ) The last one should add him holding avocado on toast and it will will be perfect

ericbomb, Feel free to remake it!
Honestly I feel like the top one could have been old timey distracted boyfriend meme because 1800s was when US swapped to coffee hard.
Then could have made middle one look more millennial/z.
Then bottom one have it zoomed out to see Thor and could make him look raggedy and like a broke teen realizing that buying 2 monsters a day does not go over well.
PatFussy, (edited ) Ill just repost as is thanks. For the funny hahas ofcourse
Dont look here annoyed_crabby
ericbomb, As is internet tradition!
PatFussy, Done. Lets see who is the bigger karma slut 😏
You should post about avocado toast on mine too just to close the loop
GrammatonCleric, Coffee wins every time, even if I have to pay $9+ for a goddamn bag 😭
ericbomb, Embrace tradition, 100 tea bags for $4! Your ancestors fought for access to tea!
GrammatonCleric, Bro, my ancestors dumped tea in protest 😅
ericbomb, Because the tea was expensive! They fought for cheap tea!
GrammatonCleric, Spiffing Brit, is that you? 🧐
EvolvedTurtle, I am currently in the coffee to energy drinks stage And I’m going poor lmao
evanstucker, I love the giant, inexpensive tins of ceylon tea at my local international market. If you can afford it, buy a bottle of rose water to add to the tea. Perfection. And of course, don’t throw away the leaves - steep them again - the second steeping is even better than the first one.
ryannathans, Teabags full of microplastic
KrankyKong, It literally rains microplastics at this point. Just enjoy your cheap ass tea and try not to think about it.
ryannathans, Thousands from a teabag or a couple per litre of rainwater
