Learn to make your own coffee instead of buying Starbucks or whatever

Be warned, this habit can very easily form into a hobby that is more expensive than buying Starbucks every morning

I'm a coffee snob, but it's amazing how much a French press can do for making different kinds of coffee.

Now espresso, too rich for blood so far. Those machines are nuts.

I make my own instant coffee

Nice! How do you do that?

This is a recipe that my grandma taught my while she was still alive and I'll pass it on to my nonexistent children when they are old enough to drink coffee.

  1. Buy instant coffee
  2. Heat water
  3. Put instant coffee in cup
  4. Put hot water in cup.
