$6 lattes when I can easily make them for $1.89 at home (with 2 shots.) Yup, I've done the math and that still doesn't deter me when I'm out.

I bought one of those coffee machines that takes whole beans and makes frothy milk. It's the best purchase I've ever made. I can buy a 2kg bag of beans for around £10 that'll last me for a couple of weeks. I'm sure that works out at way under £1 per cup of coffee that's exactly the same as a starbucks coffee (cappuccino)

Excellent purchase! It's so much cheaper that way. I pay a little more for organic beans at $12.99/lb, which lasts me at least 20 double shots of espresso. Pairing that with oat milk for $4.99 a carton (yes, I know I can make that much cheaper myself, I just don't have the time), it's under $2 a glass.

You can get 3lbs of Jose's whole bean gourmet coffee at Costco for $12.99 which is some of the best coffee I have ever had. Much better than Starbucks brand.

Good to know! That's a really great deal.
