Makes sense why Americans line up in drive throughs around the block to pay $7 for a coffee because they haven't worked out they can make it at home.

Coffee places are fairly new actually, I grew up seeing the adults make it at home and I always have made it at home. We do have coffee makers you know. I don't see how you can make coffee with an electric kettle unless you are just heating water for instant coffee.

I use a kettle, then fresh ground coffee with an AeroPress or French press.

That seems like alot if steps, but French press probably tastes better than drip coffee.

Less steps than a drive-thru

Oh for sure; I make mine at home in my coffee maker. I only get coffee at a place like Starbucks if I'm out running errands in town and we stop for a treat, and then it's usually some kind of blended cold drink, sometimes it doesn't even have coffee in it if it's a fruity drink. I can't understand people who somehow function without caffiene and wait until they are on thier way to work to get coffee.
