Coffee in your Area

[btreath9082]

So I was interested in knowing that how far from your own house is coffee available in your area? Or to put it simply, How far do you have to walk on foot or drive in order to get the prepared coffee from some restaurant or cafe in your area? Let's share. :star:

Well, not very far... I have coffee available to me within a block (actually less than a block). If you want an expensive cup of coffee I only need to walk a total of about half a block. Cheaper, yet alright coffee, I need to walk a little bit farther for, about a block. Of course I can just go to the supermarket and buy a bag of gourmet coffee and make it myself and it's in the same block

So, I really don't need to go very far. Of course, I generally don't buy cups of coffee from the local restaurants and shops, I tend to make my own

I live in the "burbs" now so it's a drive for anything good. I find it easier to stay caffeinated all day while roasting.

 

[MyMugsHalfFull]

The "Burbs" huh... Yeah, so like a 10 to 15 minute drive for a cup of coffee *shudder* I couldn't imagine driving 10 minutes for anything now LOL... Everything is so close, and convenient, it's going to be bad when I need to move again LOL...

Well, I have to travel about 10 minutes unless it is by dogsled which takes about an hour. JK we got a foot of snow last week and it wasn' very nice.

I'm with bprotsman.

The distance between my roaster and grinder is about 15'.

OMG, this is pretty much far and for a person like me, wufff......this is way too much.
And a foot of snow,? How do you walk in your street? Canada is really cold. Ahhhhh, I am freezing by the thought of it.

I am about 10 minutes away from the coffee shop that I am employed at (walking distance) I refuse to walk here though because I have to come through a rougher part of the city to get here. Knowing that I would have to put myself in danger (possible) defers me from walking so I am here in no time & then because its a smaller shop & on of the only ones in this part of town, I have the advantage of being here all the time (which I am) so I benefit by having the ability to pretty much drink coffee or espresso all day long. It's wonderful.

So, how do you go to your coffee shop since you mentioned that you do not go there on foot. And wow, you are one really lucky person since you have the opportunity to drink espresso all day long, Wow.....:coffee1:

I get a ride. I waiting on getting a car sometimes I bicycle there.

Oh that is nice. So you don't need to do exercise since you bicycle there. That is nice and I wish I could do the same. The problem though is that my office is way too far from my house, so I cannot bicycle there.

 

[BestestBarista]

Hahaha...it is nice!

Nothing like having the best possible cup of coffee as soon as I need it...in my own kitchen!
