Any good coffee drinker can appreciate tea the same. It's all delicious plant water one way or another ๐Ÿคฉ

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

My local sit-in cafe near Portland has V60 and chemex for about $3.50 but the ones I really love is the whole milk 16oz latte from the tiny 4x12 coffee house but they're like $4

The sit in place, I tip in but the coffee house doesn't even ask for one if I use my card.

Lots of coffee here so I've found $8 lattes at places and that makes me retch

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

Chemex is preferred when I'm sharing a pot with my wife/company since we can make 3 cups at once. I know you can make AeroPress for two cups at a time but it seems like it's better when pulling singles. It's nice having the coffee warm for everyone to enjoy at once but I'm now thinking a V60 might be a cheaper alternative for that situation.

I'd say $3.50 is about the cheapest pour over house coffee here in PNW US. You can find cheaper stuff at like 7-Eleven and other convenience stores - about $1-$2 but the quality is usually lacking. McDonald's was my cheapest/most convenient/tastiest go-to back in Florida. I think it was around $2

My man coming in with Aldi love and straight facts โ™ฅ

Instant coffee occasionally becomes my habit if I happen to find a good looking box at the supermarket. Super hit and miss here in the 'States but I find the most luck at the Japanese supermarket in town!

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.

 

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
