I'd much rather make my own coffee at home. It's pennies on the dollar compared to this shit, and I'm not spending an extra half hour or more out of my day for something I'll consume in minutes once it reaches optimal drinking temperature.

I use an aeropress, which allows me to make concentrated coffee that I can store in the fridge. I pour a little into an insulated travel cup and just add hot water when I want to drink it - either just before going on a drive, or after I get to work. I take a proper mug with me to work along with it and pour into it out of the travel cup. It's one of the highlights of my day.

I hate drive-through culture and am glad to not have anything to do with it, but I'm also not a big fan of sitting in public spaces amongst a bunch of strangers who actually like slurping down sugary caffeine drinks out of paper cups.

This post backfired spectacularly on OP, didn't it?

Actually, no, it didn't. Unlike many children of the internet, I can learn and expand my horizons with new vantages. Many people take coffee in a variety of ways, as it appears. By illustrating this dichotomy, in the end, I could better unravel the tapestry that is coffee drinking, thereby enriching my life. Sorry if this disappoints, but as Monty Python said, "Always look on the bright side of life."

The top one. I’m tired and I’d rather rest on my car seat in the warm interior than on one of those wooden chairs. I ride bikes a lot, 5000 km per year and I advocate for walk ability but nothing beats a coffee in my warm car on a 6am commute where it’s 6°c outside

Lifes too short for this. Full automatic at home and instant powder for on the goes. :)

Since it’s 103°, number one.

Wat? The first one. The idea of going into a crowded Cafe is uhhhhhhh. People directly next to you and babies blah blah blah

💯 Yeah, I get to sit in my own comfy chair, with ac, my own music or silence, without people coughing on me, with my doors locked if I feel like it.

That type of busyness in either picture is exceptional. If I get into a car to get somewhere, it's almost always easier AND FASTER to just stay in it.

Do I think it would be better if they were all electric? Yes.

Is coffee bad for the environment? At every step, yes.

Do I like well made espresso? Yes.

Do I want to go anywhere for a cup of coffee? No.

Do I have the equipment to make good espresso at home? No.

Do I think going without is the best form of being better for the environment? In many cases, yes.

Will I still go somewhere for a chance at a great cup of espresso? Maybe once every other month.

What is the goal of FuckCars and this sort of perspective? Seems like it should be sustainability and quality of life.

Do I think cars are the enemy? No.

Do I wish I didn't have to deal with them? Yes.

Are there any 100% sustainable, more efficient, better quality of life suggestions that are feasible out there? Not yet.

Do I think FuckCars is a whine? Generally, yes.

Do I think it's an important debate to keep open? One of the most important.

Why do I criticize it? Because it never addresses the complexity of the problem or produces any feasible solutions or steps to take. It's a cope with blanket implicit blame. We all want better.
