If you buy a latte a day, buy a home espresso machine (Gaggia Classic is pretty optimal) and learn to make a latte instead. They are quite heavy duty, plenty capable of making high quality espresso at home, and it takes less time than waiting in line at your coffee shop. And no paper cups or lids.
In fact, here's my complete product list for your consideration and, no doubt, critique. Will say this: I'm 46, everyone in our house drinks coffee, I have tried a fairly wide variety of coffee preparation methods, and my daughter has been a barista at 3 places, including one far, far away. She helped source all this, and purchased another set of the exact same things when she went to college.
