I have an espresso machine, so I just buy a bag of beans that I grind myself for about $15 Canadian. A bag lasts me at least a month, usually more. The only other expense is I do use more milk than usual since I make lattes.

I buy green unroasted coffee for cheap and then roast it myself, 5lb bag is like 8 bucks Canadian

I buy 20 lb bags of green for 80-120 once a year or so, roast a batch once a week or so in a modified popcorn maker, and make espresso, pour over, or french press depending on how it turns out.

I probably don't save any money when you calculate power, and even if I did, it would take a decade to pay for the grinder/espresso machine.

I spend about $30/mo on whole beans from a local roaster. Cheap Hario hand grinder, French press. KISS

$15-20 for 2.5lbs @ Costco of whatever looks good. They usually have some local stuff mixed in w the Kirkland stuff. I’m a aingle person using either percolator or cold brew so that bag will last me 1.5-2 months. ☕️🍩

$32 USD a month for 2 lbs (0.9 kg) from a local roaster. Not the most economical, but they do a decent job of roasting.

I do pour over iced coffee (aka Japanese Iced Coffee) using a Hario V60. 35g coffee and 300g water brewed over ice (dilutes the rest of the way and chills the coffee) and I'm good to go.

I drink tea, like the standard orange pekoe stuff. 1 to two bags a day... About $8 for a box of 72... So I dunno less than $5/mo anyway

EDIT pardon me I just saw that this was a coffee community. No hard feelings meant! I still enjoy a social coffee every now and again! May the coarse bean with you or whatever it is coffee drinkers say eachother 😅

~2kg/month, currently spending ~$60NZD/kg - anywhere between 1 and 4 espressos a day for me depending on if I'm going into the office or not, and my wife drinks a jug of cold brew every ~week

About 75 €/month at most, but that would require drinking only specialty coffee. Normally I also have a bag of cheap supermarket coffee, which I use for experiments and training. Really good specially coffee costs about 80…100 €/kg, while good light roasted fresh supermarket coffee costs about 14 €/kg, so that can easily bring that monthly expense down.

Since I drink a little bit of both, I think the overall cost is somewhere around 30…40 €/month.

AP filers are really cheap, so they contribute only cents to the monthly sum. Can you really taste the difference between two filter types? If so, can Chemex really justify the higher cost?

My wife and I split a pot a day, brewed on a Moccamaster. We buy bulk from a local grocery store a lb at a time and go thru about 3 lbs a month. At $12/lb, we’re at around $40 a month.

During the winter months I go to a coffee shop down by the Seattle waterfront. I do it because they’re starving in the winter and I want them to stay open. Couple times a week, $5 with tip for a drip.

I just use whatever the machine at work has. So $0 lol

If I am not traveling, just drinking at home or my office then under $25 for single origin Typica or Yellow Bourbon light roast beans.

If I am traveling then I might splash out $100 for four bags of beans.

Do you have a Costco near you? I usually get Lavazza beans when it’s on offer for £10/$13 per kg (~2lbs) but Amazon sometimes have it cheaper delivered. One word of warning though, the Kirkland coffee beans are terrible, no idea how they make It so bitter.

Also have you tried a re-usable metal filter for your AeroPress?

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

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

1.25 kg of Lavazza beans (at USD ~21, converted) for a single person per month, brewed ~20g (in V60) for 1-3 times per day

Between $75-$120 a month, for two of us.

We pay an average of $22 for a 12 oz bag of the good stuff from local roasters (Temple or Chocolate Fish) and go through just over a bag a week. Work days we have 2 cups each, weekends we go all out and have 3. We buy whole beans, grind them at home, and exclusively use the Chemex. Sometimes when we pick up a bag at the shop we treat ourselves to a latte (stupidly expensive) and that bumps up the average.

$40-$60 for two of us but we don't drink the same coffee so usually it's just a bag for him and a bag for me.

For me about 10€. At work I have free "coffee" and at home I alternate coffee and tea. For the coffee I've found a nice 500g bag of whole brand for 8€ that is my go to.

"Antique" 2€ grinder bought well over a decade ago and french pressing. No expensive equipment.

Like $10 on a thing of instant every couple months.

It's about $30 a month for two of us who both drink 2-3 cups a day.

$24 AUD ($16.30 USD) for 500 grams of coffee a month. I drink a cup a day and it's enough for me and my partner to get through. I use a stovetop moka pot and get beans from the local markets here in melbourne :-)

Random guy here, stumbled onto this thread.

I can only drink decaf, doctors orders. My wife doesn't drink more than a cup a day usually, caffeinated.

We have a breville espresso machine, got it during COVID because we were home so much.

We made coffee every day, sometimes several times a day. But now that we're more or less back to normal, we're not home often enough to use it regularly. Perhaps once a week.

We still love fancy coffee, just not enough to get up a bit earlier to make it, and take it with us, and then clean the thermos later. Bah.

So we go through a pound or so every few months. It's actually a bit annoying because the coffee gets less fresh as the weeks go on.

As for what coffee we buy? We buy local, there's a roaster near our house, which always smells amazing when you drive by. Their coffee is fine, quite tasty even, it just all kind of tastes similar, if that makes sense. Even if I go for some fancy flavors, which I'm guilty of doing (in a separate special grinder), they all taste very similar in base flavor. Maybe people like that 🤷‍♂️ it's fine.

Our favorite coffee is schuil in Grand rapids Michigan, super tasty, and their flavors are phenomenal (if you like that kind of thing).

Edit: beans are about $9-11/lb here in Michigan.

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.

10 - 15 euros probably

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.

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.

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

I use 25-26g per day at a cost of $10-$20 a pound so maybe $15-$30 a month

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.

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.

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.
