You go to Starbucks because you want the sugar and you don't want to make it yourself.

But boy, instead of those $6-$8 coffees, you could skip a few of those and start your journey down sourcing beans from different places, finding a flavor that suits you, and learning to roast your own beans. If you skip a few more, you can get a decent coffee grinder, and a few more and you can even get a Keurig (bah) with a reusable K cup if you don't want to spend time cold brewing (my favorite) or the slow gentle brewing that keeps it from becoming too bitter.

If you like cold brew, it takes like a minute to put your morning coffee together and you can even do all the sugary bits yourself in that period of time.

But most people don't like the coffee... they like the sweetened and flavored caffeine. They haven't yet woken up (HAH) to the fact that you can achieve better, deeper flavors at home.
