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

    Between $0-$30 a month probably. I rarely buy coffee, but on occassion at work I will, usually if it’s long working hours. I don’t often make it at home either both because I usually lack cream and/or because I forget.

    I’ll more commonly have coffee if I’m with friends, that’s where the cost increases the most.
