Buzzy Coffee Opportunities
Free Starbucks for life
This is a quirky one. It requires no capital, so the return on capital is infinite. It is worth a net present value of just over $2,500.00 today using a 10% discount rate. Click here and use code CD258H2XBE for a $5 sign up bonus. Once you download the app and set it up, they offer a fun little benefit: a $5 Starbucks (SBUX) credit each Monday in perpetuity. The caveat is that you need good credit.
The other caveat is that I use this for black coffee; the drink in the image isn’t coffee and will give you Diabetes. But caveats aside, if I can spend less than five minutes to get over $2,500 of NPV with no capital or risk: I do. Don’t you?
Here’s another: I’m an investor in a Bain-backed SBUX food vendor. Details available for StW Special Purpose Research subscribers here. Good company and product. Bain will monetize it within the next few years.
Once you run through the freebies, the best deal on coffee is the same as the best deal on almost everything: make it at home. The best coffee I’ve had is made with a simple AeroPress. They were kind enough to send me their new premium version that comes in handmade glass and metal which I far prefer to plastic.
I hope that you like these ideas. I don’t drink any alcohol or consume refined sugar or processed carbs. That leaves caffeine as my “vice” of choice. It is habit forming, but I don’t think it is intrinsically unhealthy. I have two cups per day and avoid it after noon. So keep a hard caffeine cut off and make sure you get enough sleep. Then enjoy coffee and enjoy your life. Ideally for free!
