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

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

My local sit-in cafe near Portland has V60 and chemex for about $3.50 but the ones I really love is the whole milk 16oz latte from the tiny 4x12 coffee house but they're like $4

The sit in place, I tip in but the coffee house doesn't even ask for one if I use my card.

Lots of coffee here so I've found $8 lattes at places and that makes me retch

Chemex is preferred when I'm sharing a pot with my wife/company since we can make 3 cups at once. I know you can make AeroPress for two cups at a time but it seems like it's better when pulling singles. It's nice having the coffee warm for everyone to enjoy at once but I'm now thinking a V60 might be a cheaper alternative for that situation.

I'd say $3.50 is about the cheapest pour over house coffee here in PNW US. You can find cheaper stuff at like 7-Eleven and other convenience stores - about $1-$2 but the quality is usually lacking. McDonald's was my cheapest/most convenient/tastiest go-to back in Florida. I think it was around $2

My man coming in with Aldi love and straight facts ♥

Instant coffee occasionally becomes my habit if I happen to find a good looking box at the supermarket. Super hit and miss here in the 'States but I find the most luck at the Japanese supermarket in town!

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.

 

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
