I've never felt the need to pay extra for whole-bean, locally, ethically roasted, gourmet coffee.

Even when I started making way more money I've stuck with the can of ground coffee.

The reason is cause most days I just down the cup really quickly, black. Or with a little cream.

I don't savor it. To me, coffee is a utility. Not a lifestyle.

I just need a couple of cups to stay awake and do my job.

But after that I don't touch it for the rest of the day. Not if I want to fall asleep at a reasonable time anyways.

Every now and then I will pay for an expensive gourmet coffee but that's not the norm.
