It depends on the brand and what process they use. Some are ok but a lot of it is pretty disgusting. In my experience you won't really save money buying pre ground, because the decent stuff isn't meaningfully cheaper than buying beans.

So tie welfare to children as well if it becomes an issue. We do this shit all the time.
Perhaps, but why give up before giving even a shadow of a try?
Why continue massively subsidising civilisation destroying anti-social behaviour?

Of course we can, gradually increase taxation for the childless with commensurate tax rebates for those with children. Have the exact rates depend on the fertility rate.
Easy peasy. Perhaps you don't want to do this but its well within the capacity of the state to do.
Perhaps we could actually try to make having children the financially preferable choice (or even just equivalent!) instead of an immense burden relative to childlessness/having too few children before we throw up our hands and declare defeat?
There are massive financial incentives, caused by the state, to not have children and the current transfers are pathetically small compared to those.
That sounds more like administration than management. What I believe has been shown in multiple industries (but particularly the public sector ones) is that as administration grows, it decouples from the actual operations of the business itself and becomes self sustaining, and in fact starts doing less actual administration, in not only per capita terms but in absolute terms.
Its kind of like how teachers keep inventing new method to teach that clearly don't work, because thats more fun than just doing the same thing in a fairly formulaic way.
Very few actually want to do the real administrative work, so new more interesting work is invented.
Most managers are actually fairly directly involved with the real operations of the actual business, it's not a support function like more pure administrative departments such as HR.
And yet it's more and more financially preferable to not have children. What we have done is like noticed that car sales a dropping and handed out 10$ vouchers and wonder why that doesn't have an impact on car sales.
