How much do y'all spend on coffee a month? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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 ๐Ÿ˜ช

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

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.
