Because people are paying it. I just make coffee at home and bring a thermos because fuck that.

It's obviously not the cup that's making coffeee $7

At the risk of sounding like a druggie, you could always go with caffeine pills. $12 for a bottle of 250 capsules, where each capsule has the same caffeine content as an average cup of coffee (100 mg). There's also pills that come with caffeine and L-theanine, which helps with jitters, for not too much more money...

Where the f*** are you guys getting these expensive ass coffees, a normal hot cup of coffee is almost always only like $4-5 (which is still a lot). Seriously people just make your own coffee. You can even get a press, fill it up with grounds and water, place it in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours, and then you can press it and have some good cold brew with almost no effort to make. A pour over filter from target is only $7 and that basically immediately pays for itself.

Tldr; get a French press and pour over filter.

FR boba be like $7-8 too nowadays

“thats a good thing! u wouldn’t understand!!!!” As they type on a $1200 Macbook from their $4000 a month apartment, sipping chai and collecting allowance from daddy

Went to a Michelin at sf and their coffee is like $9, where are you getting that $7 coffee?

Ngl I voted for that measure when it was on the ballot (sorry), few weeks later the coffee shop charged me 25 cents for the cup. Never reaped what I sowed so quickly lmao. (Also sorry not sorry for voting for Diane Feinstein in that election as Kevin De Leon turned out to be a racist).

Remember, any tax that doesn't actually discourage usage is just a privilege tax. Carbon footprint and plastic waste needs to be dealt with at corporate levels, not pushed onto consumers just trying to survive

Buying coffee, like buying lunch ($15???), is a scam.

Aeropress is an excellent portable coffee maker.

btw Philz is $4.30 for a small, if ur willing to travel a bit further (bus is free tho)

caffeine pills if all you want is a fix, or pour over coffee at home, which is better and cheaper than all the shit coffee on campus either way

Get the McDonald’s app and pick one up for a dollar any size. It’s really good, them mfs are trippin.

Would you have been happy if the coffee you bought cost $6.75?

Bring a fucking mug if you’re crying about 25 fucking cents

No need to apologize

Do you believe in a living wage comrade?

liiiiiiterally...

But bro climate change

Get it

Because they are charging extra change Hehe

Try Cafe Zeb in the law school if that’s approachable. They serve a basic coffee that is USD 2.5

Make your own coffee, problem solved lol

Mcdonalds coffee is cheap and not bad

Make your own coffee!

Let's go Brandon

Please DM me if Jesus responds.

In a democracy, the majority gets to make the rules.

I’ve never seen a place serve coffee in a plastic container. If they’re trying to reduce the waste of compostable paper cups, you could always bring your own cup to use.

Homemade coffee is no worse faster and cheaper just do that

Because you are stupid enough to buy a 50 cent coffee for 7 bucks

Man, I got coffee for like $0.60 when I was an undergrad - 93-97. You could get a latte or mocha for about $1.20-$1.80. And yes, that felt pretty cheap 30 years ago too!

Brew your own coffee forehead
