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

I use a small French press, usually used once per day. I buy preground for press from a local roaster which is about $10 for 500G which lasts about a month.

Radiokava. It's a local coffee roastery in Ukraine.

About 4.99 for 200g of instant. Lasts me a while but it's just me using it

3 to 5$ a month but I can only drink one cup a day now and it is just me.

A 1lb bag of kicking horse is about $15CAD on sale, and it lasts me 3 weeks or so

Around 1kg per month. I buy Lavazza red, it tastes good and strong for £10. 40mg lisdexamfetamine washed down with a quad espresso is a good way to start the day.

I use an aeropress every morning to make americano style. Roughly 17g of coffee ground somewhere between espresso and turkish coffee.

I get my coffee from a local roaster that will roast and grind the beans for you on the spot, in about 15mins. 200g for around $12

~17g per day depending on how much over or under I scoop, ~6205g per year, ~517g per month

  • ~$30 USD per month at home
  • another ~$20 USD per month on decaf at restaurants/cafes

Thanks for including the stats! I'll be looking back on this to improve my AeroPress pulls

Most days it's two 18g of espresso, one 25g made into a pour over. I go through about 2kg a month (about 4.5lbs) with dialling in and some shots for other people.

I spend anywhere from £60 per kilo down to about £30, depending on where and from whom I am buying. My local roasters (Outpost.coffee) tend to be more expensive than some of the other big names in the UK.

Depending on what's available, I either get a single bag for espresso and a bag for pour over or a bunch of different bags, anything up to 8 typically.

£30-£40 for me. Currently working my way through local roaster recommendations from another thread but it’s taking a while because I order in 1kg packs.

Usually go for two americanos per day with a double shot in each one.

Around £21 a month.

For the current coffee, 56¢/k-cup, so about $25/mon

[–] RizzRustbolt 1 points 1 month ago

We have been super happy with CostCo’s Rainforest Blend(I think it’s under 15 bucks for an 3lbs bag) and grinding it ourselves for our EOD cup of joe. We have some specialty coffee’s in some vacuum containers for weekends.

We typically make Americano’s or French pressed coffee.

We also will do drip sometimes but I usually just use the Costco canned stuff for that. We are using it more and more now that we have a 6 month old and it’s on a timer.

About 2,5€ or so

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

maybe 75 cents I'm guessing. maybe 2-3 store brand kpods a month.

$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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] AngryCommieKender 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No. Caffeine doesn't agree with my ADD.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AngryCommieKender 2 points 1 month ago

It makes my ADD go haywire. Sure I have a short burst of energy, but my focus is shot for the rest of the day. Also I think I have a harder caffeine crash than most people, as I normally need a nap when the energy jitters wear off
