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

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.

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.

[–] mbp@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

$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?".

$57 monthly. But I order not a cheap coffee.

Radiokava. It's a local coffee roastery in Ukraine.

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

10 - 15 euros probably

[–] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] vizzi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

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.

$180 US. $360 including tips.

[–] observantTrapezium@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

About 2,5€ or so

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Around £21 a month.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For the current coffee, 56¢/k-cup, so about $25/mon

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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.
