How much do y'all spend on coffee a month? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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

The Kirkland beans really are bad, which is surprising. I like the Don Pablo beans they carry a lot though.

Ooh not sure we have those in the UK, we do have San Francisco Bay coffee beans which are good but Lavazza is smoother. I did wonder if the San Fran was just for us in Europe so we had “Exotic American” coffee.

Lavazza is delicious too. I actually don't know if the American Costco stores carry Lavazza. I didn't think my local store does. I see in their website that they may only be available for delivery.
