Am I the only person that read this as "what is your corporate coffee brand of choice?"

Starbucks.

I read that way too

Agree with D1. Your company should have a guide or you can reach out to HR if unsure. I expense everything when I travel since I’m traveling for the company and we also receive a per diem. Not sure what company you work for but for most consulting companies in my experience Starbucks, DD or just coffee from anywhere are covered as long as you meet your per diem amount (if there is one). The only time I’ve ever had an issue with expensing was when I worked at JPM. I was asked why I bought a coffee at place A and then a croissant at place B as that counted as two breakfast even though I was under the daily $ amount.

Any coffee, whatever the brand.

I’ve never expensed a coffee…lol…not even when I was super junior

No, I can afford coffee. But also, if there’s a a Dunkin I’m going there and getting a dozen donuts for the team and these get expensed.

We get a per-diem for non-team meals, so yes?

If you're adding donuts, so many spots better that DD. I gather this is a best coffee in middle America rather than a do you expense it question.

When traveling, coffee is the coffee in the hotel which often is a Starbucks, but more likely brewed Folger's. Not adding an Uber stop for coffee on the way to the client site

smart

As somebody from "middle America" those places don't exist here. We have to grind the coffee beans we grow in the field with a mortar and pestle, and don't share with outsiders

funny

And Middle America has great local coffee from the tropical rainforest farm lands in countries like Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, etc. ain’t no Starbucks or DD there.

I expense all of my meals, yes

Middle earth?

Of course

No, but we get per diem + $10/day for ‘extra expense’ such as tipping for parking, coffee, etc. the $10 does not require a receipt

What about Middle Earth?

You can expense only in Mordor after you find precioussss.
