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!
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?".
10 - 15 euros probably
My wife works at Starbucks and we have an espresso machine, so not a lot.
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 ♥
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 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.
I have an auto reorder every 3 weeks for a 2lb bag of ground coffee that we like from Amazon.
I then use a reusable bag and a gallon pitcher and steep the coffee for about a day.
So, maybe $30-$35 a month?
$57 monthly. But I order not a cheap coffee.
What coffee do you use?
Radiokava. It's a local coffee roastery in Ukraine.
About 4.99 for 200g of instant. Lasts me a while but it's just me using it
700 UAH (18$) for a kilo for a month. freshly roasted. two people. two double espresso (16.5g of coffee) almost every day. plus occasional guests. Kyiv, Ukraine.

$180 US. $360 including tips.
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
Around £21 a month.
For the current coffee, 56¢/k-cup, so about $25/mon
maybe 75 cents I'm guessing. maybe 2-3 store brand kpods a month.
$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.
