    The top one. I’m tired and I’d rather rest on my car seat in the warm interior than on one of those wooden chairs. I ride bikes a lot, 5000 km per year and I advocate for walk ability but nothing beats a coffee in my warm car on a 6am commute where it’s 6°c outside

    I don’t like waiting in my car, but I fucking hate packed restaurants/cafes where I have to scoot my chair in extra tight so people don’t keep having to rub their junk on me every time they squeeze behind me.

    I choose option 3: make my coffee/tea at home because I’m poor asf.

    If I am to answer honestly, the car. But only because it’s like a little fortress of solitude and separates me from the public where I would otherwise be an anxious mess. But to be fair, you did only ask what looks more comfortable. I still don’t want cars to be the main mode of transportation.

      Yep. There’s a BIG difference between “I like driving” and “We should design all our towns and cities around driving.”

      And the ironic thing is that designing around walking and public transportation makes driving better. You don’t have to deal with nearly as much stop & go traffic if there aren’t as many people on the road, and if arterial roads don’t need to have intersections every few hundred feet.

      Actually, no, it didn’t. Unlike many children of the internet, I can learn and expand my horizons with new vantages. Many people take coffee in a variety of ways, as it appears. By illustrating this dichotomy, in the end, I could better unravel the tapestry that is coffee drinking, thereby enriching my life. Sorry if this disappoints, but as Monty Python said, “Always look on the bright side of life.”

    I’d much rather make my own coffee at home. It’s pennies on the dollar compared to this shit, and I’m not spending an extra half hour or more out of my day for something I’ll consume in minutes once it reaches optimal drinking temperature.

    I use an aeropress, which allows me to make concentrated coffee that I can store in the fridge. I pour a little into an insulated travel cup and just add hot water when I want to drink it - either just before going on a drive, or after I get to work. I take a proper mug with me to work along with it and pour into it out of the travel cup. It’s one of the highlights of my day.

    I hate drive-through culture and am glad to not have anything to do with it, but I’m also not a big fan of sitting in public spaces amongst a bunch of strangers who actually like slurping down sugary caffeine drinks out of paper cups.

    The car ofc 😂. Air conditioned, my own music, private space, no waiting for a table, no listening to other conversations. But this is a stupid comparison altogether. I wouldn’t go to the drive thru for a social coffee and I wouldn’t go to the cafe for a quick coffee.

    All you car haters, I’d like to see you sitting outside, having a coffee, in Arizona during the summer where it is 56°C during most hours on a daily basis.

    Why yes I would rather sit in my comfy padded chair in the AC where I can listen to my own music and charge my cell phone rather than sitting on a metal chair listening to 20 other people’s conversations in 100 degree weather.

    There are many arguments against drive-thru restaurants. This is a stupid ass one.

    The people lining up, instead of parking and taking 5 mins to go inside, are terminally stupid. I encountered this the other day, and I was out the door with my coffee before the line had even moved.
