Comment on Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me

I don’t get overpaying a shop for coffee. I can get over 43 16 oz cups from a 2 lb bag of whole bean. Not the cheap shit, either. I buy the good stuff from a co-op in Wisconsin. With my minimal time and labor investment, I end up paying about $0.85 for 16 oz.
Why go to a shop? Human interaction?

Do you not leave your house? If I want a warm coffee while I’m out and about, I’m not going all the way home for it

We have the technology to keep hot things hot. :D

Another thing to carry.
Mind you, I’m a fairly preparedness focused EDC guy. My backpack has a 24 hour supply of most of the things I’d need, plus stuff to help get by for a little longer.
If I threw a thermos in there on top of my water supply and bare minimum rations, that’s a full pack.
Most people don’t have a pack to shove the thermos into, and aren’t going to realistically carry one around on a strap or in their hand.
And, eventually, it runs empty. To counter that, you have to go bigger, which is heavier and bulkier.
Like it or not, places that serve food and drink are going to exist because nobody can carry everything everywhere all the time.
