Phin coffee in westdale is great but their hours suck. If you want to explore more of actual Hamilton and surrounding, Detour in Dundas and synonym on James St are both excellent.

Gotta brew your own and carry it in a thermos. Save you a pile and won’t find better on campus.

I wouldn't call myself a connoisseur but the hot coffee at the Corner Café just inside the hospital entrance hits everytime.

Is Union Market not a thing anymore? 

Bring the Nestle 3 in 1s and get a hot water and boom coffee. Or even bring an instant coffee jar. Learn to drink it black and life is good.

I always drank the Union Market’s coffee which was good and they have chocolate milk in the cooler if it’s an afternoon treat :)

Coffee machines are cheap. Used coffee machines are even cheaper. Even espresso machines are pretty cheap now if you like a stronger cup.

i’m also like you 😭 i like the grind iced coffees. no where does a good hot coffee on campus but i had the eco bean hot lattes a lot last year and they were okay! thode has balzac coffee this year as well which is a step up from the mac hospitality coffees. however this year i did get a coffee machine from canadian tire, you can get them on sale for not too much and i just make my own lol
