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

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

Thanks for including the stats! I'll be looking back on this to improve my AeroPress pulls
