I get McDonald's delivered all the time. Can't beat 13 minute delivery for coffee in the morning.

My coffee routine only takes 8 mins from whole beans to v60 pour over, most of that the kettle warming.

How many minutes of active work, though? Presumably OPs 13 minute wait time involves about 30 seconds of work and 12 1/2 minutes of doing whatever they feel like.

(in any case let’s be honest, you’re both optimising for very different parameters. Which is fine!)

... with MUCH better-tasting coffee than e.g. McDonald's as a bonus!

Do you order anything besides coffee? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why would you wait 13 minutes for someone to drop off $1 of distinctly average coffee?

(I say this as someone who has ordered McDonald's through DoorDash before.)

It's a $12 minimum order where I am anyway. So you pay $12 whether you have $12 of items or not.

So, I am guessing GP has a couple egg-mcmuffins in there somewhere.

Yep. I get egg mcmuffins with my distinctly average coffee.
