As tempted as I am to stop by my favorite coffee shop every morning on the way to work (looking at you, Coffee Bar), I've witnessed firsthand how quickly a daily coffee run can drain my bank account. To resist the urge, I make sure to stock up on coffee at home. I prefer to buy whole-bean coffee and grind it myself (it really does taste better) and brew a fresh pot of coffee every morning. Not only so I set up my coffee maker the night before to save time and get my morning fix ASAP, but I also love to be caffeinated as I'm heading out the door and know that I can skip the unnecessary purchase.
