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 😪

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

$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
