I think his point is that he hasn't needed a satisfactory coffee setup at home before and thus hasn't done it. If WFH is temporary, then the issues he's facing make sense.

I always work from home and I can see where his issues come from. I'm sure he'd do things differently if this were a permanent state for him.

Or perhaps the walk to starbucks will help him get in shape.

Or perhaps he will finally be able to break the habit. Without coffee many (not all) are sleeping better and more rested. He may discover he is one of those people.

Switch coffee with donut. Or newspaper and it starts sounding like traveling an extra hour in doesn't make as much sense as biking/roller blading/walking or driving 5 minutes to grab that coffee.

I've no objection to people who want to take up new exercise regime and cut out coffee. Good for them!

But when people are worried about flu-like symptoms like headaches, fatigue, muscle aches and being out of breath might not be the optimal time :)
