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

$0. I can’t stand the taste of The Bean. Not sure how much my housemates spend on it, but it doesn’t seem to help them. I’m up first, and they claim I make a good pot of coffee, so they wake up when I feel like putting the pot on around 7:00 am.

You know what the best cup of coffee is? The coffee you don’t need to make for yourself, in the comfort of the place you live/call home.

Do you drink something like tea instead?

No. Caffeine doesn’t agree with my ADD.

I hit a vape of nicotine and a vape of THC to wake up, lol

Hell yeah - water, a cigarette, and a puff on my stiiizy for me.

How does it interact with your ADD?

I’m starting to think long term use for caffeine should be something everyone avoids. Since I’ve cut out over half of the caffeine I used to intake I’ve noticed that I sleep much more consistently, and I want to say the quality is better but that could just be a placebo associated with getting the right amount in the first place lol.

$15-20 for 2.5lbs @ Costco of whatever looks good. They usually have some local stuff mixed in w the Kirkland stuff. I’m a aingle person using either percolator or cold brew so that bag will last me 1.5-2 months. ☕️🍩

I drink tea, like the standard orange pekoe stuff. 1 to two bags a day… About $8 for a box of 72… So I dunno less than $5/mo anyway

EDIT pardon me I just saw that this was a coffee community. No hard feelings meant! I still enjoy a social coffee every now and again! May the coarse bean with you or whatever it is coffee drinkers say eachother 😅

Any good coffee drinker can appreciate tea the same. It’s all delicious plant water one way or another 🤩
