I get free coffee at work and even at regular price its 1.79 for a 20 oz cup, Farmer Bros Breakfast blend is pretty good if I could afford it though I would buy Douwe Egbert for home, I absolutely love, love, love that coffee
Recently purchased a Keurig K-Mini and an official My K-Cup reusable pod.
There is a competing reusable pod called Perfect Pod and I buy the paper filters meant for that system and use them in the official reusable pod.
I do buy higher end ground coffee (not grinding my own at this point) but still spend less than 50 cents a cup. Filters I use work out to roughly 10 cents each and coffee at $6.99 for a 12 oz bag costs ~30 cents/cup (enough for 22 cups).
And I do buy bigger bags of coffee and take advantage of sales and coupons so I often knock that price per cup down quite a bit. As an example, I snagged a 20 oz. bag of Lavazza Classico for $6.99 because it was on sale for $9.99 (thanks to a $3 coupon).
If I bought the cheap store brand coffee, I could get this as low as 18-20 cents a cup due to the 10 cents I pay on the filter. The paper filter is a must for me because I hate the sludge that ends up in the bottom of the cup without it.
I also figured out how to brew espresso in one of those K-Minis with the My K-Cup. Espresso is ground really fine so it doesn't brew right in the reusable pods. End up with a watered down mess if you try brewing it as is. However, if you put 1 teaspoon of normal coffee on top, the water flows like normal and you get a nice strong cup of coffee.
Not sure how long you'll wait for it as it's shipped from the Netherlands but it's currently on sale for $3.99 a bag for the Douwe Egberts Aroma Rood Ground Coffee. Might be decent price even once shipping is factored in? The Best-By Date is 03/15/2022 which is why they're marking it down. Should still be good stuff well past that.
They stop drinking Starbucks and tighten their belts.
I've never drank Starbucks.
Some people pay more in a day than I pay in a week for coffee.
You're not missing anything.
