Starbucks has the answer. I guess they are going to sell "Instant Coffee" at their stores. In a packet. It's just $1 a cup. I have 12 pounds of Brazilian coffee beans. A thermos costs few bucks. I don't have a fancy coffee maker. Just a $3 Krups. I'm no math major, but I guess I could take 10 minutes to homebrew a pot of coffee, fill my thermos and get a cup of coffee for a few cents. What a world.
