Brad:
Hmm, it seems you & I live with fundamentally different circumstances. Yes, those items might all contain coffee for use during the day.
In theory, there is lots of stufff I'd like to take with me when I leave for work. The frugal side of me wails when I do not bring, say, my lunch.
1. Work Clothes*
2. Food
Breakfast, lunch, & sometimes dinner. I try hard to prepare them using disposable containers that I do not have to return. Bfast at work saves me time, because the sooner I leave, the less time I am likely to spend in traffic. Wife & kids get dinner at 1630, before I get home, so it doesn't matter if I eat dinner at work, on the road, or at home; I still am not eating with family.
3. Workout Bag
Workout clothes, toiletries, wo gear, wo log, towel, plastic sack for used clothes & towel
4. Laptop Bag*
Usual laptop accoutrements as well as extra ethernet cabling, cheap 5 port switch & PS, engineering journal, various & sundry office supplies
5. Firearm*
To include carry gear & reload
6. Other Stuff*
Keys, ink pen, wallet, utility knife
(* ALWAYS goes)

Yep, what I need in my life is yet another thingy to take with me out the door, remember to clean out during the day (so it doesn't get too funky), remember to bring home, and remember to stuff in the dishwasher for the next day. Oh, also, I would have to remember to make coffee every AM. And maybe trade in my compact pickup so as to have more volume under cover in case it rains, so my truckload of daily stuff doesn't get ruined.
I'd love to be able to do all that, but time constraints are just that: constraints. I already have cut into sleep to get done what already gets done. Getting by on less than 6 hours/night would make me less effective over time. I also spend less than 15min/night in front of the tube.
I do make coffee at the house once a week, two pots at a time. It goes into rubbermaid containers for the fridge & is drank (cold) while I feed my boy bfast (by me, not my boy). Making coffee every AM takes time I do not have.
I am reminded of something a fellow in Bible Study once said, "If you're too busy to fish, you're too busy." I don't fish, but I think they man had a point.
