How much do y'all spend on coffee a month?

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

Not much, the only thing relatively expensive was the expresso machine. Coffee beans we have is mostly Lavazza's Crema e Gusto (the blue/red bags). On sale it is about 11 to 14€ per kilo. We spend a little extra on good coffee creamer (Friese vlag Goudband). I don't drink much coffee but I can't have a sip without making noise...my wife goes "everything alright?", or "shut the @#€# up?".

My wife likes instant coffee. I use a french press and pre-ground coffee. I go through probably about a kilo a month so something like 800 to 1000 JPY

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!

$12. A single pack of grounds lasts me right around a month.

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.

We like the Peruvian. I was iffy about the Sumatran because it was already ground, but my partner loves dark roasts, and I must admit, it's really good. One caveat, the instructions on the bag say two rounded tablespoons per 6 oz. cup, and that's far too much. We like our coffee strong and find that one tablespoon for every two 6 oz cups is plenty.

My man coming in with Aldi love and straight facts ♥

I work in a café, so I really only pay for my coffee on my days off.

I average maybe half a pound of beans per month for home brewing, so let’s say $20 for a nice bag from a local roaster (in Canada-bucks). Ten or so dollars in V60 filters is enough to last me most of a year, so add a dollar a month. I also like checking out cafés, so add $15/$20 in random café visits, and I’d typically spend anywhere from $20 to $40ish per month.

$40 is great! Plus you get plenty of cafe time which is worth a ton in my opinion. I didn’t factor in my coffee house budget because that can get pretty high depending on the month 😅

I’ve been considering the V60 to get away from the pricey Chemex filters and that figure sounds really great. Thanks!

My wife works at Starbucks and we have an espresso machine, so not a lot.
