People who love coffee brew it themselves. They don't need to endure long lines and wait for some poorly treated minimum-wage employees to burn it for them.

I suspect coffee preferences, whether someone makes it for them or not, might be down to whether their place of work is conducive for even making coffee. Perhaps there are socioeconomic lines as well that divide people. Do most people feel the need to have their coffee made for them at a fast-food establishment?

I work on the road/various jobsites throughout the day. My first coffee is almost always one I make at home. On a long shift or a cold day, I sometimes want a second coffee, and unfortunately Tim's often the only option around.

I don't drink coffee myself but last I heard, Tim's had their own brand of coffee so hypothetically if somebody likes it, they can still brew it at home.

To clarify, people who love coffee buy fresh roasted beans and grind it themselves for brewing for the best possible flavor.

Buying a kilo of any pre-ground coffee and slapping it into a drip machine is not something people who love coffee would typically do.

You forgot that we worship St. James (Hoffmann).

I didn't buy fresh roasted beans. I roasted my own.

Of course I'm a lunatic.

I've done that, in an apartment with a Behmor. Great coffee, but man what a hassle.

Now I have a subscription to a local place and the coffee's always roasted within 3 days of delivery.

I had a great place to get roasted-on-premises coffee, but the guy who ran it got me interested in the process, ran a course in how to do it, and then sold the equipment to do it. I'm a nerd. Of course I nerded out and started doing it myself!
