    You think they spend 400000 on coffee? You lost me there.

    After looking at their number of employees and some math, I could actually see that as plausible.

      • Discord has ~1,000 employees… let’s say 0% remote (heh, is it 100% or what?)
      • Avg of ~65% of employees (650 employees) drink coffee
      • Average of 3 cups of coffee per day per employee
      • 260 work days per year

      Cups per year:

      • 650 employees x 3 cups per day x 260 work days = 507,000 cups per year

      • For medium-sized office of 100 employees, cost of a turnkey delivery service is $15,000/yr ($0.68/cup)

      So for Discord:

      $0.68 per cup x 507,000 cups per year = $344,760 per year
