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

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

10 - 15 euros probably

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.

About $30/month USD when we can afford to order from Stone Street. We get by on much less from Aldi during leaner times, which still isn't that bad.

Aldi's whole bean bags are pretty damn good for what it's worth. Those organic yellow bags, I think Panamanian or Peruvian ones were the bomb.

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

$180 US. $360 including tips.

Around £21 a month.

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

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

$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?

[–] [email protected] 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.

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
