No, not by my logic, not by anyone's logic. Almost the entire price of a cup of coffee covers the "bean" and "labour" part of it. The contribution of the cost of the water to the final cost of a cup of coffee is ... almost nothing at all.

you pay yourself to put a pot of coffee on at home? I thought you were talking about tap water? A 10-cup pot of coffee at home is like $0.10 of ground beans. I meant that is pretty close to how "free" my tap water is.
