My wife and I go through about 4lbs a month using mainly Chemex and Areopress. Used to get (decent) crummy coffee at Aldi and Grocery Outlet, occasionally splurging for local roasts at the coffee shops. Still, I calculate that’s about $35 or so a month on beans, Chemex filters should probably be calculated with how pricey they can be - napkin maths say $11 roughly for a months supply.
$46USD ain’t bad compared to my other vices 😪
Curious to hear if I’m around the average spender or how it tracks! Maybe you have some tips on cheap but amazing coffee? I wouldn’t know unless I asked y’all
PNW?
Damn, $3.50USD gets you a flat white/cappuccino/latte here, I don’t know if you’d find pour over coffee. And people here are upset at THAT cost, with home espresso machines taking off accordingly. I’m surprised Americans drink so much coffee at that price.
My local sit-in cafe near Portland has V60 and chemex for about $3.50 but the ones I really love is the whole milk 16oz latte from the tiny 4x12 coffee house but they’re like $4
The sit in place, I tip in but the coffee house doesn’t even ask for one if I use my card.
Lots of coffee here so I’ve found $8 lattes at places and that makes me retch
