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

Do you just roast it in your home oven? Does it make your house smell like a Starbucks knock box?

I do the same thing. Green coffee has a longer shelf life than roasted coffee does.

Recently moved to a more coffee-oriented area so I should be able to find green beans way easier now. Thanks for the reminder!!!
