I fundamentally disagree that these are non-avoidable expenses.

It's not about avoidability. This is what happens when someone is more concerned with looking like a startup founder than founding a startup.

Why is he picking up the tab for this? The company should. Reads like the founder type who deludes himself into believing his startup is successful by using the salary he pays himself to fund the company's expenses.

Yup. Another startup founder that wants to found a startup more than they want to create something great.

Seriously, you can buy pretty good coffee beans in bulk, and you can buy a passable coffee machine and espresso press for $100. If you're still scraping things together, I think your developers will be ok with that.
