How poor do you have to be that you can't afford coffee? Maybe not the $5 a cup starbucks bullshitaccino, but you can get a cheap electric drip pot and a month's worth of grounds for $20.

Some folks go through their university years without much discretionary income.

  You're right but if I'm honest, for me it was because I pissed all my cash on a powerbook instantly and forgot to budget for stuff like food ;-) I still own that powerbook and it still works and thanks to it I learned to cook so it was a good investment in the long run.

  No shit, I was one of them. But we're talking the kind of money you can make in an afternoon of unskilled manual labor, to set you up for a semester's worth of coffee.

    All my afternoons of unskilled labor money went towards rent, personally. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

      But Coffee gives you the ability to work (at least!) an extra few hours a month.

You don't even need the drip pot, you can always make it on the stove like my grandparents...

  Of course, that presumes they either have skillz or some willingness and ability to get them. These days, a lot of people seem dependent upon microwave meals and fast food.
