Due to working as a barista I've recently developed a caffeine addiction. I'm allowed to make myself the best damn coffee in the world and sip on it throughout my shifts, no charge. This means that on my days off I feel hungover until I get my precious coffee. And I don't get free coffee when I'm not working. I probably spend over $10 a day on the stuff. God help me.
Have you considered buying a personal espresso machine? Obviously, they're not cheap, but you might end up saving money in the long run. Also, how cool would that be to have one of those in your kitchen to where you could make almost every drink you could at work?
Get a coffee maker that grinds the beans right before making the coffee. Much better than the starbucks shit if you find beans that you like. Personally, I like the Mayorca ones at costco.
Coffee maker = $100
Beans = $10 per 2 weeks if you drink it like water
Starbucks @ 3cups/week ~~ $30 per week
100 + 10(x/2) = 30x
10(x/2) = 30x - 100
x/2 = 3x - 10
x = 6x - 20
-5x = -20
x = 4
If I did that right, then after 4 weeks, you're saving money. This is using very safe estimates.

I don't drink that Starbucks crap though.

It's very cool indeed.
