Honestly, coffee is one of the few things I don't skimp on, as you can really taste the difference, and I love my coffee xD So a pack of my favorite Lavazza (250g) sets me back $5.50, which feels okay to me.
Going out, though, coffee prices have soared in the past few years. A cup of flat white, like the one pictured, costs me about $4.40, so only a dollar less than a whole pack, which granted, lasts me several cups.
Still, I don't go out that often, and when i do, I try to go to coffeeshops I know serve really good coffee.
I agree, I prefer paying a bit more to have a decent cup than to drink the lousy rip offs and not enjoy it at all. I only drink coffee because I love it, once that's over, there's no point in drinking it.
I don't know what we pay here for the bags of beans as we never had them here (we did in Budapest) and we also bought more expensive ones probably around 6-7 euros per bag there.
4,40 a cup sounds expensive for that size, but I have no clue what you'd pay here in a coffee shop such as Starbucks etc. I remember it was very expensive in Budapest there too (we don't have one here) but here in Spain, I only drink it in bars and restaurants when I'm out for breakfast.
I rarely visit big-brand coffee shops, so I'm out of touch with the cost. However, I think they are overpriced. I only have a decent cup of coffee, like a latte or cappuccino at the lunch pub/restaurant that's served in a nice glass for £3. It's pretty decent and I can't complain.
That's only 1-2 times a week though:)
Hello friend ..... I have to drink coffee every day hehe otherwise it gives me a headache. And by the way, no matter what the price is, I still make an effort to buy it, I think it is the product that no family in my country fails to buy.
I agree, I never really enjoyed the Starbucks coffee over my own cup lol.
PS thanks for the tip <3
Neither me. I think that Starbucks is overrated.
You're welcome, and I hope that you'll be able to join us again:)))
I checked the prompts, didn't find inspiration (in time) a few times so don't worry, I'm checking in just not always participating. Very focussed on rolling out business stuff currently which has been in the works (drafts, half ideas etc) for way too long and I'm feeling so good and positive doing this that I often just give Hive 30 minutes a day max to not get distracted. It needs some grinding to get things rolling and some healthy balance..
I hope you're good! <3
I understand that all too well.
I've just been looking at my draft too, and trying to get on top of things.
Yes, I'm good otherwise, though:)))
Thank you, I think it's expensive, too. I imagine even more so in Starbucks or some such franchise (of which I'm not a fan). I haven't yet visited Budapest, though I have noticed that sometimes, we tend to have more steep prices here in Eastern Europe than in Central or Western. Odd.
Could be, I have to admit that before trying Starbucks in Budapest, I only bought there once before, when we visited Seville, that's all, lol.
I think it makes more sense here to just have a coffee in a bar or café if you are out. Cheaper than these franchises.
I agree that when it comes to buying coffee one should not skimp and buy a quality coffee that we like.
Here a cup like that can cost about 2 maybe 3$ in a more expensive coffee shop. But just yesterday I had a cappuccino for 4.5 $. I think it's one of the most expensive I've had here and it's not something I make often.
That's quite a lot. One thing I've found interesting about this week's networking event is how different coffee beverages seem to rank differently in parts of the world. For instance, cappuccino carries a pretty decent price here, but I've never seen a flat white for 2-3 bucks. :O
Here you can get a decent coffee much cheaper. But from time to time if one can, it is good to support these small coffee shops that support small local producers. I think that in this way one contributes to the long-term increase of coffee production in the country and of good quality.
That's a pretty good price for quality coffee. If I browse the internet, I see Instant shit coffee being sold more expensive. Also, the cup of flat white looks like a decent cup, but that price may be a little more, I'm not sure. But my regular latte is £3 with a small free chocolate.
Same for me. I don't just pop to town and enter a fancy coffee shop and fork out my money, only to get a watery shit cup of bad coffee, I need some feedback, or some other incentive, such as quirky aesthetics, so that I could at least take photos and write an interesting post that could subsidise the expense.
is one of the benefits I like the most about being on Hive 😁😆
Yeah, that's for sure. 😁
Puff pastries and lungo for you!
That looks so delightful and yummy 😋
ooh lovely, I've always been a fan of that custom (of adding a complimentary chocolate). It's not a big thing here, alas, but they don't mind if you bring your own xD
Completely! It seems a lot of this industry has turned, mysteriously, into a sort of you eat what we give you, and I don't care for it at all.
Hmm, you're right about that, you know... ad you're making me think that I should give restaurants or dining outlets
somemore shit if they do not have their acts together.I mean, shouldn't one? I used to be very polite and shy in such places, I still am polite, actually, but I also realized it's not assholey to expect a decent service when you're paying for it.
That's what I'm saying. You can't make a decent post of a coffee in a disposable cup and have it taste like crap on top of everything else.
Indeed, not a handsome cup for a coffee post. Besides, plastic really changes the taste of beverages, more when it comes to hot ones; and some of that plastic comes into our bodies.
And it goes straight into the trash to accelerate environmental pollution.... My tasting when I get a coffee in plastic 🫤
100%.
When we analyse things this way, we get a better view of the whole picture.
I must consider myself lucky since coffee is produced in my country, so it is not very expensive compared to foreign countries.☕
Good day.
Uu lucky you! :)
Yes, that's a massive advantage there!
The price is relatively similar as in my country, the market for coffee shops has grown quite a lot, a normal coffee with milk costs 1.30$ almost the price of 100gr, the difference is that you enjoy the moment and you do not do it every day, otherwise it would be an income.
💯%
That's why if I go to a coffee shop and the music is too loud, or if there's something not quite right that can be fixed easily, I never hesitate to say something to the staff. Otherwise, I would leave feeling dissatisfied and like I wasted my money:)
I agree with you that if we go to a coffee shop and the atmosphere or something is not as it should be, including the music since a coffee shop is supposed to be for conversation, I don't hesitate to say so either.
If the atmosphere is not relaxing and pleasant there is no point in paying more for a coffee, for that I enjoy it in the comfort of my home hugging my cat who hates coffee but can't help but come close to smell it every time he can 😹
The idea is to enjoy the moment, no loud music, the idea is to listen to each other, there are people who like to read there, I agree with you.
That's true and I also hate large groups who takeover with unnecessarily loud conversations without consideration for other customers.
Without counting those who bring children and let them run and scream all over the cafeteria, it is super uncomfortable, I prefer to leave the place.
That's just the worst torture, and I prefer to leave also 😡
Loud music, loud people, and screaming children make me get of the coffee shop immediately. Coffee time is special, more if you have to pay 4 to 5 times the cost per cup.
Oh, $4.40 is too much for a cup of flat white. I think they're charging you more for the disposable cup and the milk, though 🤭 Besides, the cow has to pay for own coffee even though she's cute!
I also choose coffee shops where coffee is good; otherwise, I don't spend my--little--money there. Also, it has to be quiet place.
Thank you! everyone seems to agree it's damn steep. Will make me think twice about ordering next time. You may be right about the disposable cup, though when you take it in-house, they charge you for cleaning up after you, so how can you win?
Haha she's quite sneaky, though she was just photo-bombing here. xD
Yeah, I am annoyed by paper cups while having dine-in experiences in Coffee Shops. Some things are just not right.
Oh to their credit, it wasn't their default dine-in option, we just combined take-out with dine in as we needed the paper cups for some flowers we'd rescued xD
Ah, ok! That sounds like a nice cause though. I love fresh flowers 😁
Sometimes coffee shop owners must share the blame as well; they have to pay taxes and lots of bills. Anyway, in the end we costumers pay for everything. We should open a Hive Coffee Shop and franchise it; we'd have special discount for Hivers and photo-bombing cows all over the globe 🐮
That would be the cutest thing ever. I'm down xD
Pienso que usan vaso desechable para no tener que lavar las tazas de vidrio jeje. Lo bueno de lo desechable es que puedes llevártelo y si vas al trabajo apurada para tomarlo con calma.
For my economy, I find coffee expensive in your region. But compared to your income, is 5.5$ for 200$ of coffee expensive?
She is very cute that little cow drinking coffee ☕😊.
I think there has to be an opportunity cost for everything, and coffee shop outings should be considered the same. If you're gonna go for regular coffee, then you have to cut back on some other expenses. Whether it be cosmetics, a cheaper brand of another good or something.
I also think that if you take the time to go out to a coffee shop, having the ability to write a decent post on Hive about the experience is a great way to subsidise the expense😉
Exactly... If you're going to pay for coffee you should get good coffee and at least have a decent presentation for a post on Hive.
Las salidas a las cafeterías considero que siempre serán un poco costosas pero también valen la pena tomar un buen café ya sea como dice una publicidad de una marca de café en mi país: Negrito con leche o marrón...... en buena compañia, buen ambiente una sana conversación vale la pena la inversión.
The price for the flat white cup really seems a bit too much. Especially compared to the Lavazza pack, which is reasonably priced. I usually prefer to give twice the price and buy a beautiful bag of specialty coffee, at about $11 😁
Anyway… the flat white looks nice!
I agree! I always purchase coffee/bring my own when traveling, since most accommodations allow for some way to make coffee. Alas, that's not always possible, so when getting take-out coffee is a must, I'd rather it was good coffee to justify its cost :D
Oh, same here. My family always travels with our own coffee and this is the only way for us! We cannot risk having to buy expensive or poor quality coffee when we travel…😁
Today I bought this coffee in the supermarket, it has a value of approximately 1.5$ for 100gr, I can not miss coffee, as at home I am the only one who consumes it, it lasts me 3 days, but at my mom's house 100gr are consumed daily,
I don't know what the economy is like where you are, but $1.5 for 100 gr sounds decent to me...
That's really cheap actually, is the name Madrid or are you actually in Madrid? I expect it to be much more expensive there :)
That is the name of the coffee, I am in Venezuela, I was taking out the account and in coffee I only have a monthly expense of 20$.
Yeah I figured that would be the case, because for 1,55 I don't think we even have a very cheap brand here. But I admit that I'm also not 100% sure about today's coffee prices (only of these cups that we drink lol).
20 bucks a month sounds not cheap to me but I know the economical situation can't be compared with Spain. I don't keep track how many of these cups we drink but I'd say 2/3 min to 4 max a person a day here. So it adds up for us.. Well worth it though :)
The economy is very different as well as the income of an average worker, here there are many brands of coffee, I don't know the price of instant coffee, it is definitely worth it.
At my mom's house they have an income with coffee from the amount of times I see them drink it a day, they think it's juice hahaha.
Yeah I can't even imagine living with such wages as in Venezuela but I also never lived in such a country. It's great that you can still drink coffee though, I kind of expected it to be a too expensive luxury item for people in Venezuela. In the end, it probably is a luxury thing as you can perfectly live without it :) But we coffee lovers don't want to haha.
Have a nice weekend!
!PIMP
Yeah, I always find it amazing that despite the economic situation in Venezuela, people can go to a local supermarket and have a wide array of coffee to choose from at a relatively decent price. The economy in Jamaica is bad, and if you want decent coffee which is the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, one of the most expensive coffees in the world, you are going to leave a hole in your pocket.
Luckily, Jamaicans love tea. Tea is the cure-all medicine in Jamaica, and they are big into bush tea as well:)
It is not easy but you always find a way to buy coffee and it is not a luxury item what you have to have is your money for your coffee, live without coffee noooooo hahahaha happy weekend
You must be killin' it out here!

I think Instant coffee is way overpriced. I don't buy it, but when I see the price of it on the shelves I think it's crazy. Definitely for people who are not real coffee lovers, who can drink an insipid drink filled with milk and sugar.😅
Instant coffee is just an ingredient for cakes 🤣🤣🤣 Some people think it's real coffee.
That coffee here is very expensive, I really don't make that investment, I prefer to prepare it in my coffee brewer that I am sure I will enjoy it.
A coffee shop habit in the UK would be an expensive one to maintain. However, young people still factor it into their monthly budgets. I am at an age where I no longer squander money 😆
Yeah, for the name alone, it would be way more expensive in the UK too:)
When everyone drinks coffee there are no grams that last, in my house many times there were fights over who finished the coffee, but then everything returned to normal when our mother brewed more delicious coffee.☕
Good day.
Hahahahaha it's true, that's how it is at my mom's house, we all drink coffee, no gram is enough, tell me when we have family reunions, it's over in the blink of an eye.
Así me pongo yo cuando no he tomado café jejejeje
That's $15 a kilo of ground coffee! For me, that's super expensive. Small bags increase the cost a lot.
Café Madrid used to be good; I haven't tried it in a while, a while equivalent to two decades perhaps 🙈🤣 Wow! I'll buy some when I see it!
Well here they add the price if 100gr has a value of 1.5 they multiply it would be equal to 1000gr 15$.
Exactly!
I went to the store but didn't see any Café Madrid. I might find it tomorrow in a different store 😌
I bought it in a Chinese supermarket hahaha they had several types of coffee until fame of America this no longer tastes the same, although it retains the aroma.
The economy here is difficult, it is not the price of the coffee but the cat you make and the time it lasts, here the prices are expressed in dollars but that is not our official currency, 1.5$ would be like 50 bolivars that changes every day, but if you are a coffee lover the important thing is to wake up with your good cup.
The worst year was 2016. I remember they made fake coffee from beans and barks. It was awful. We reduced our intake to one little cup per day, which was what we could afford if we wanted to have real coffee even if it wasn't so good.
Yes, my morning coffee makes my day, always that is good 🤎
Yes, they cheated with that coffee that tasted like a stick, at home we also reduced the intake to once a day and my mother recycled the coffee grounds hahaha.
For a country with a strong coffee culture and economic turmoil, I think it's expensive, especially considering money exchange rates. However, it is cheaper compared to other places.
As you say though, waking up to a good cup of coffee matters:)
The situation here is difficult, especially because of the purchasing power of the working class, whose income does not exceed $100 per month, it is a high price to pay, but it is worth it.
That income sounds really low, indeed and I think that coffee shop outings would indeed be a massive expense to factor in.
It is difficult to go out to a cafeteria with those salaries, you would have to use at least 25% of your monthly income.
25% of any monthly income is a big sacrifice 🤗
That's a good deal, and I think the quality of coffee across Venezuela is pretty good since it's so competitive.
If I travelled there, I would try to stock up a good amount to take back home:)
Here there is a wide variety of coffee to choose from, as well as some of the best
I rarely drink coffee outside anymore since we have our L'or espresso machine. I remember that we had coffee out all the time in 2016/2017 living here in Spain and it was usually just 1 euro for a coffee, no matter where you went.
I think in this area and granted, about 6 years later, it's more like €1.20 a cup but there are probably still places where you can buy it for 1 or where you pay 2 euro for a regular coffee.
I see the prices of special coffee from 5 euros and up mostly.
I have to admit that I prefer my own Sontuoso espresso cup at home over all these coffees outside. Where we used to have a coffee machine that you use on the stove our first year in Spain, I didn't enjoy my homemade cup as much as I did the ones outside. These were often better quality coffee brands than we bought, I guess (living on a tight budget lol). We preferred going out having one sitting in the sun over buying a bigger bag and sitting locked inside in our tiny apartment.
The Sontuoso cups here cost €7.69-€8.75 per 20 pack depending on where you buy it. So the price per coffee is very good as it's a cup I really enjoy drinking when added Completa coffee creamer and a bit of sugar.
Writing about coffee made me crave one, so byeee :)
I rarely drink coffee outside the house, not only because of the economic aspect but also because coffee is a potential diuretic for me hahaha, once I bought a coffee maker but it is not my preference, you have to believe that I like the way my grandmother used to make it with a coffee strainer, mine is old hahaha. There are also times that I give myself a treat I order a cappuccino which is around 2$ depending on the place. Enjoy your coffee I'm going to prepare mine happy day
Guau... 5 dollars for a cup of coffee seems very expensive to me, for that amount here you can buy a pound. Well, you have to remember that the coffee is imported, so set aside a few euros for sinful pleasure. Hehehe.☕
Good day.
Yeah I never pay that though :) That was a Starbucks in Budapest, in our region here we don't even have one. I don't mind because their coffee doesn't give me the same joy as my own cup at home anyway :)
I do prefer making and enjoying coffee at home. Right now it's mainly Nespresso which is awesome. However, I source inexpensive good ground coffee from Lidl or Aldi, and I enjoy what I brew in a Moka pot, French press, or the Bodum vacuum coffee maker.
I also enjoy making muffins at home and creating my personal coffee shop experience in the comfort of my home.
Teah, I'm craving coffee from writing this, but I already had a second cup and prefer not to have another one today.
Happy weekend:)))
I agree, at home is best! And also on the Nespresso only we have the LOR machine and cups.
We never tried ground coffee from LIDL but we tried most of the cups to see if we could save a bit of cash on coffee, lol but most of them were dismissed right away. My boyfriend has one of the more expensive cups from LIDL that he likes though.
I also finished my second for today so drinking water now, have a great day!

What part of Venezuela are you from?
You are right, coffee in this country is becoming a luxury. Very difficult my friend. But I recommend you to buy pure, freshly ground coffee, it is much more profitable because you need less quantity to prepare a pot for the whole family.
I am in Aragua, La Victoria. That's what I thought, coffee beans are really much more reliable and pure, it costs a little more because branded coffee only comes in the presentation of 1 kg.
It is very expensive to drink coffee in your country, almost like a luxury. You have to take advantage when you have the opportunity to try a delicious cup of coffee.
Good day!
Yes, it is almost a luxury. That is why it is so highly valued, it is never wasted. To have a coffee in the street, you have to think about it.
The price of coffee here, as in most countries, depends on the quality of the coffee. I have been used to buying coffee beans for a long time because we love to drink freshly ground coffee. I can get it for $14, and I have even paid as much as $18 for a kilo depending on the brand. There is not always much variety available in the bean presentation. That's talking about local brands produced in Venezuela and sold on a large commercial scale. A coffee bean from a small producer is much more expensive and is over $20 per kilo. A few months ago, in one of the imported products stores that abound here, I bought a kilo of Italian coffee at 10 dollars and the truth is that I regretted it because it seemed a little bitter. So I prefer to pay a little more for what I like especially when it comes to coffee.
If we talk about drinking coffee out. In a bakery in the area where I live a small coffee can cost 1 dollar, and a large one from 2 dollars. But when you go to a coffee shop the prices vary a lot. In a fancy coffee shop, they usually cost 3.5 dollars, and just yesterday I had quite expensive coffee for what is customary here. A cappuccino cost us 4.5. In favor of the place, I can say that they sell coffee from small local coffee growers and even give you to choose the grain with which you want them to make your coffee. They serve it as you see in the photo, with information about the coffee grower, the variety of coffee, and the cup profile. The coffee I must say was delicious and super creamy. It is not something I would drink every day, nor can I afford it. But indulging ourselves with a good cup of coffee in a nice place is worth it once in a while.
It's a good price for gourmet coffee and more if the beans come from local producers, as we know everything is more expensive for them when it comes to keeping their farms working.
We get lower prices from local producers here in the west part of the country; I can guess our producers make little money as they can't reach ideal costumers who can pay more for their products.
Yes, coffee lovers know it's worth the effort when the place is as good as the coffee; coffee is the best break.
Well, there is a vast diversity of coffee prices in my country and, of course, even widest range to the cup of coffee quality.
Most of the people, that don’t have a big income prefer to buy coffee from by-the-road vending machines and they pay usually about $0,25-$0,35 for a cup of “espresso”… although the coffee there is far from espresso.
Some people prefer to buy coffee from various coffee shops where they pay about $1 to $2 for coffee. The higher price seems high and it is… for the quality of their product. You can have an excellent cup of specialty coffee for that price. And if you want to have a more special cup of specialty coffee, then you can expect a price around $2,5-$5 for an espresso shot.
I will not discuss the gas stations coffee, because it is awful most of the time and it costs similar price to the specialty coffee… 🤷🏻♂️
My usual cup of coffee at home costs me between $0,6 and $1, depending on the coffee I am using.
I consider myself a lucky person when it comes to buying coffee. Our country has the advantage of being a coffee producer and not only a producer, but a producer of one of the most desired coffees in the world.
In my house I can not miss the delicious coffee and fortunately you can get a pound for 5 dollars more or less. If you are a coffee lover to live here would be a paradise, and that talking about buying because many times there are friends who work in coffee farms and bring to give away or sell for almost laughable prices, besides the coffee beans and then grind it is more delicious and with a more penetrating scent.
Next I leave you a photo of my favorite coffee accompanied with some delicious empanadas of añejo (It is a dough made of yellow corn) and wheat flour made by us, really the empanadas and coffee are two inseparable lovers. I hope you don't crave them too much. Hehehehe...
Greetings to all those who love coffee.☕
It would be great to live there surrounded by the delicious coffee and with friends who work in coffee farms is the best you do not have to make economic sacrifices to buy, those empanadas look great the perfect duo.
Yes, its the best, Empanadas are the best to accompany a delicious coffee.
Thanks for comment.
Good day.
You've brought some nice memories: coffee and empanadas! Many people say "empanadas and malta," but for me it's always been "coffee and empanadas."
It's so nice you get to pay so little for coffee. On top of that, you're also given it for free. That's heaven!
Have a nice Sunday, my fellow coffee Hivers!
I took this picture last night at 8:30 p.m. from my sister's balcony. I drank my coffee as I read this conversation.
It was a busy Saturday at work; I took a long nap after that and then couldn't get my ideas right about coffee or anything, but I'm lucid now 🙈 I usually make my own cup of coffee; it's strong and black. I served about 200 ml for me and add no sugar. But when I go out for coffee, which happens every other week, I may order what I call candy-coffee: frapuccino, American cappuccino and stuff like that which has more sugar than coffee and doesn't make me feel like I've just had my dose; I pay 4$ approx for this Kind of coffee.
However, my regular lungo costs $1.15 at a coffee shop I visit often.
Is coffee overvalued? We'll, I have to pay only a little more than a dollar for the cup of coffee I usually order, but my salary as a university teacher is $60 a month approx.,so in theory, it's too much for my pocket. You may guess that I have a second job that pays the bills and my coffee, and you're right. Venezuela is one of those second jobs nations. I don't think coffee is overvalued; I pay $10-$20 for 1kg if excellent coffee beans. If I I want someone else to do the grinding and brewing and pouring for me, I think $1.15 is fair enough.
I spend $30 in coffee beans per month. I I had to drink my 4 cups of daily coffee at the coffee shop, I'd spend $138 a month. It'd be $120 if I had one candy-coffee a day but I'd be dead by now.
So yes. When it comes to having your coffee at the coffee shop in my country, I think it's overvalued.
I agree that coffee in the cafeterias here is overpriced, especially for the labor costs that are handled in the country. It is something that never adds up here. Because things are worth what they cost abroad but people do not earn what they earn abroad. Is it that business owners here want to earn more than everywhere else? Anyway, we can talk about that for hours, without talking about salaries as in the case of teachers, as you mention. It's insane.
I also like to buy my coffee beans and make my coffee with freshly ground coffee beans, I drink it black without sugar but not too strong. And when I go to a coffee shop I opt for a cappuccino without sugar ;) I haven't had a frappuccino in a long time, hehe.
After the Russia-Ukraine war, many countries in Europe are facing overpricing in many of their products; I'm not sure about coffee and coffee products, but it has also affected us, as many products coffee shops use to prepare their beverages come from European countries or US countries, where inflation is a dancing queen currently. I'm surprised we're not paying $10 for an espresso.
Also, we produce coffee, true, but we consume more than we produce.
We must seize the day, my friend, enjoy all the coffee we can 😌❤️
Yes, there is no doubt that a good part of the world is facing these days price hikes for many products and the worst thing is that it seems that the trend will continue for a while.
So as you say, let's enjoy every day at a time, and if it is with plenty of coffee even better 😊☕️🌱
Cheers!
Hello to all this beautiful community, I write little here but I love this community because I love coffee, I am Venezuelan and I always say to joke that Venezuelan who respects himself drinks coffee haha, although in reality I know that not everyone likes it but that's when I say God!!! they do not know what they are missing.
Talking about the overvaluation of coffee in my country Venezuela, for many if it is considered, for others not. I consider that something is overvalued when it is given a price that is not the real one. Venezuela is a country that produces this item in quantities and exports it to other countries and that is why many of us wonder why coffee is so expensive if we are producers. Because for example 200 grams of coffee has a cost of 65 bolivars (our currency) equivalent to $ 2 and this depending on the price of the dollar, here are handled two ways a parallel dollar and a dollar equivalent to the rate of the Central Bank of Venezuela, and businesses must sell coffee at the rate of the Central Bank of Venezuela and every day increases motivated to inflation that is currently going through my country, but even so I tell you that the Venezuelan does not stop buying it and I am one of them. In addition, if you are going to have a cup of coffee in a shopping mall with some friends sitting with good company, there are two ways; small coffee valued at 48 Bolivares Sovereigns, equivalent to $ 1.5 and large coffee like the one I show you in the picture 96 Bolivares Sovereigns, equivalent to $ 3, so it is better to take it at home hahahaha.
