> as if I am missing one of my perks of the days at the office when I skip coffee same mentality for me. > so I also avoid coffee for the calories, and go for water instead. i'm pretty sure coffee is like almost 0 calories as long as you dont add milk, isnt it?

yup black coffee is calorie free

For practical purposes. If you want to get pedantic it's probably something like 2-5 calories per serving depending on brewing method.

Maybe people are drinking the same amount of coffee, but they had to stock up their homes in March-April and then haven't needed to refill since then.

That makes me wonder if the toilet paper industry is also seeing a short-term dip in sales because of all that hoarding earlier this year.

Its annoying how there was pretty much no toilet paper to be found for months with a massive stock pile of paper towels everywhere and now its the opposite. I stock up on toilet paper and paper towels at regular intervals and was lucky to only barely begin running out once stores started getting toilet paper again but there seems to be no paper towels anywhere now.

Wow not me. Probably because my home coffee setup and beans are a lot better than my office.

I'm sitting next to one of those to-go carafe boxes of coffee right now I ordered yesterday. 8-ish cups. It's empty now. RIP.

I drink about 36-cups/day, so this sounds as if I would be really irate if I had that little...

I moved into a "new" apartment just over two years ago, and ordered TP on Amazon. 24 or 36 rolls or something. I fat-fingered the "Add to Cart" volume button, and got like 4x36 rolls. I'm a single guy - so I accidentally stocked up in advance! (I am not even half way through two+ years later - happy accident, in retrospect!)
