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!
$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
About $30/month USD when we can afford to order from Stone Street. We get by on much less from Aldi during leaner times, which still isn't that bad.
Aldi's whole bean bags are pretty damn good for what it's worth. Those organic yellow bags, I think Panamanian or Peruvian ones were the bomb.
We like the Peruvian. I was iffy about the Sumatran because it was already ground, but my partner loves dark roasts, and I must admit, it's really good. One caveat, the instructions on the bag say two rounded tablespoons per 6 oz. cup, and that's far too much. We like our coffee strong and find that one tablespoon for every two 6 oz cups is plenty.
Not much, the only thing relatively expensive was the expresso machine. Coffee beans we have is mostly Lavazza's Crema e Gusto (the blue/red bags). On sale it is about 11 to 14€ per kilo. We spend a little extra on good coffee creamer (Friese vlag Goudband). I don't drink much coffee but I can't have a sip without making noise...my wife goes "everything alright?", or "shut the @#€# up?".
3 to 5$ a month but I can only drink one cup a day now and it is just me.

$180 US. $360 including tips.
maybe 75 cents I'm guessing. maybe 2-3 store brand kpods a month.
700 UAH (18$) 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.
Around £21 a month.
For the current coffee, 56¢/k-cup, so about $25/mon
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
$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.
You know what the best cup of coffee is? The coffee you don't need to make for yourself, in the comfort of the place you live/call home.
Do you drink something like tea instead?
No. Caffeine doesn't agree with my ADD.
I hit a vape of nicotine and a vape of THC to wake up, lol
Hell yeah - water, a cigarette, and a puff on my stiiizy for me.
How does it interact with your ADD?
I'm starting to think long term use for caffeine should be something everyone avoids. Since I've cut out over half of the caffeine I used to intake I've noticed that I sleep much more consistently, and I want to say the quality is better but that could just be a placebo associated with getting the right amount in the first place lol.
It makes my ADD go haywire. Sure I have a short burst of energy, but my focus is shot for the rest of the day. Also I think I have a harder caffeine crash than most people, as I normally need a nap when the energy jitters wear off
