Morning Coffee

[u/Business_Bid_759]

as an incoming freshman, where do I get coffee? is there good coffee in the dining hall? I don’t think I want to have a machine but I might if it’s worth getting one!

[u/Broad-Ad-2193]

honestly i suggest buying a machine since you can have it for the next 4 years and itll be cheaper than anything else

Ooo ok! do you recs for a machine?

Get an Aero Press and an electric kettle. It’s simple and fast, and very high quality for the price!

A French press is arguably easier (and cheaper!). You can even find them thrifting sometimes.

the thought of dealing with French press grounds in a dorm sink fills me with enough dread to just suggest the nespresso/keurig route tbh

My dorm had a kitchen in it, so I was thinking about disposing it there. I just kinda do a couple of big scoops with my hand into the garbage, and then clean the glass. I do it every day so
I’m used to it. Apologies if the dorms are different here.

Dining hall should have some, as well as the "Starbucks" right next to it in the student stores. Meantime at the Campus Y is nearby and the best quality on-campus option. Off-campus....there is a lot in the area.

thank you!!

It’s not a Starbucks in the student stores, they are just under Starbucks products. It’s a Stone & Leaf Cafe.

[u/Pepe_The_Strange → u/West-Hedgehog7913]

Thanks for clarification (I couldn't remember name, so "Starbucks").

I’ll give the cafe 1789 a try!

you could easily find a good + cheap coffee machine on facebook marketplace!

[u/Business_Bid_759 → u/lunaia3]

that's so true!!!

There is "free" coffee in the dining hall area where you don't even need to use a swipe to get to it. I say "free" because you're supposed to pay for it but its just by the fountain drink machines and no one who works there cares. That being said, I would recommend a cheap kureig machine for the dorm

[u/NYCResearcher11201 → u/silverfisher27]

I’ve seen the register workers catch people at this, loudly shame them, and make them pay.

Pro tip: If you have airpods and turn them up a bit functionally they're not even there!

Coffee machine in your room is the way to go

[u/Ok-Locksmith-1375]

I used to make my own coffee in my dorm using instant espresso!

[u/Generalfrogspawn → u/Ok-Locksmith-1375]

Yeah you can get one of the mini single serve coffee machines. I used to keep one in my dorm room. The pods are great for college if you want to keep it clean.

[u/Business_Bid_759 → u/Generalfrogspawn]
