I'm not a big coffee drinker so I've never done this. Can't say I've heard of people who do it either. Why not just buy their coffee beans or ground coffee.

I usually just brew my coffee at home.  Starbucks is very expensive so I just don't bother.

    Starbucks at Carrs/Safeway Supermarkets has a special every Friday:
    A drink and a pastry for only $5.00!

I had to give up coffee several years ago.  It triggers my vertigo.

 ;)I don't buy coffee from coffee shops.  I think I would probably do the same if I did.  I don't think it strange.  The coffee I have at home I just keep warming the same cup all morning long.  Adding hot coffee to the warm or cold.

I don't drink coffee, if I did it would be like a craving that I would need it, I used to have instant coffee in the house, but haven't had that in the house for years.

If I buy a specialty one, and there is leftover pumpkin, and or pepperment, I use my Keurig and make a coffee with the leftovers. I do not like to be wasteful.

Like, I tried a pumpkin cream cold brew this fall, and a lot of pumpkin foam left over, poured some more cold brew I had in the Fridge. So, two for the price of one.

We drink coffee here and if we have any flavored coffee left from town we always top it off when we get home.

Sorry to be That Person but if you're making a pot at home anyway wouldn't it be cheaper to buy starbucks beans and skip the first part?

I'm not a big fan of starbucks at all.  Mostly make my own and sometimes get a free Kwik Trip coffee.  I'll do Dunkin if someone gives me a gift card.

I brew various varieties of Starbucks and Caribou at home unless I'm on the road.  Then I will purchase a coffee.

Hah! I've totally done that.  Starbucks has one of the best dark roasts I've ever tasted, and I do save half of it in the fridge for the next morning quite often.  LOL, nice post, didn't really think others would do that too

I usually either get Starbucks at the place or in the stores with there ground coffee. There flavors are pretty good not the best but pretty good. I do lean more towards folgers

If I have to pay such an ungodly charge for coffee alone, I plan to get as much perks & free stuff out of it.

I occasionally buy coffee drinks from stores but I don't drink it enough to make it at home.

I don't like Starbucks coffee. My kids like the hot chocolate, but I only buy it if it's on sale.

I am not a regular coffee drinker. When I do, however, I just make it at home. Sometimes, I'll go to Dunkin Donuts; I never tried Starbucks.

Personlly I do not drink coffee, I drink tea Organic decaf green plain and love it. My husband and daughter love coffee. Occasionally we get starbucks, but we make coffee at home in a variety of ways. We have an off brand small kuering machine that they use occasionally. My husband likes to make coffee using a french press and my daughter likes to make cold brew coffee. The cold brew was my idea, as they say it is much less acidic and great flavor. They both like all coffee options available. If really in dire straights we do have a jar of instant coffee, but I use it occasionly in baking. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Occasionally drink Starbucks usually around fall because of the different flavors such as pumpkin spice but  brew coffee at home at least twice a day.  Love my Bunn Coffee maker.

I'm not a coffee drinker, but if I was Starbucks would be way out of my price range!

If I'm getting Starbucks, I probably won't drink coffee at home unless it's much later in the day. But I do love coffee and tend to drink two cups a day or so.

that is interesting, I have never thought to do this. However, I also usually only drink iced coffee if I am getting it at a coffee shop. maybe I will try it some time.

I treat myself to a coffee specialty drink at either Starbuck's or Biggby (I think Biggby is limited to Michigan?) usually every week or two.  I can't say I save any of it to add to my own coffee at home.  I like to drink it when it is hot/cold and fresh. Right now, during the holidays, is one of my favorite times to buy great coffee or tea drinks!
