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

    Realistic take but it sounds like you’re enjoying the best coffee in your city regardless of how much you spent initially. $120 is a hell of a steal for a whole year of joe, IMO

      Nah, the roasts aren’t very consistent so most of the time it’s kinda mid. Sometimes it’s so good it demands 3 more shots.

      You most probably won’t reach the coffee quality of a professional roaster at home. It just depends on how much you’re interested in the process or how much the taste is worth it to you.
