Home usually, Costco beans of some sort, a drip machine, or the occasional K-cup, times four.
When I first retired, I tried every brand of coffee sold by my supermarket just to see which was my favorite. It was Dunkin Donuts by far. So, for quite a few years I bought that brand at the grocery store, and prepared it at home in my Mr. Coffee.
But for the last year or two or three, I have changed my habits. I have been buying Maxwell House instant, and using hot water from my hot water kettle to make it. One of these days, I should make DD coffee again and see if I still like it better.
I detest Starbucks coffee almost as much as I detest the idea of driving to get it, before coffee... and the same goes for other coffee that I could go out and buy. I am almost inhuman before coffee. The closest Starbucks is 0.4 miles away from me but it's not worth the walk IMO.
She blessed Keurig but, she drinks Nespresso.
I can attest to that. The one down the street from us is also on the corner of a very busy intersection. A magnet for bad driving.If it were up to me, I would ban Dunkin Donuts as a hazard to navigation. I have never seen such poor drivers as those who are pulling in or out of that place.
Of course.I took "prepare" to include mixing my morning instant.
I'm the same way. I almost exclusively brew mine at home. The exception being if we are traveling or if I need to be somewhere early and don't have time to make some before leaving.I prefer to prepare my coffee at home and only buy brewed when we're traveling.
I'm with you. Except, on those occassions I do go to Sbux, I get their Americano because I detest their standard brews. So, when I pay $3+ for a cup of coffee I feel I've betrayed my LBYM self and hang my head in shame.buying coffee for $2+ when I can make that cup at home for 25¢ just rubs my LBYM training a bit to far. I may blow the dough, but by paying 8x as much.

I guess it shouldn't surprise anyone that on an early retirement forum that leans toward frugality that less than 4% of poll respondents said they buy their coffee already brewed.
