| How much is too expensive? How low the price indicates poor quality? How much do you get through in a day? |

I used to drink four mugs a day. Then I had some bad anxiety and stopped for week. When I came back, I would just drink two max, but one most of the time. I like good coffee, but I can do with mediocre coffee, so I don't spend that much. There's a local roaster who's pretty good though, so I might start getting some from him. I make it with a funnel currently, but I might get a french press or a chemex. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

I buy the cheapest decent coffee, which is around 3.50€/500g. |

Coffee = migraine. I love the stuff but it don't love me back. I've even tried decaffeinated coffee and that also gives me a migraine. One thing I haven't tried yet is cold-filtered coffee... I am aware this is probably just a hip faddy thing but this is more of a scientific enquiry to see if there is a brewing technique that makes coffee that is migraine-free because I have notice that instant coffee gives me worse attacks than fresh-brewed while the strength of the coffee itself doesn't seem to make much difference. As a result of that I drink it very rarely and cannot drink instant coffee at all.
As I don't drink a lot of coffee I have a Bosch Tassimo machine so that is quite expensive per cup ... 16 pods = £3.99, which is 25p per cup. I think ground coffee is about £1.50/100g, which if you assume 10g per cup works out at 15p per cup. A £6.50 (190g) jar of instant coffee (such as Douwe Egberts) makes 75 cups at 8.7p per cup. (as you can probably tell from the gms/cup, I like strong coffee) ------------- What? |

I've got a similar machine which works out a similar price. It's good stuff and not that expensive when you think how much you pay at Costa etc. |

The Bosch also makes tea and hot chocolate, though you generally have to buy the more exotic varieties online, which bumps up the price as the P&P is high. But yeah, still loads cheaper than buying in Costa and you don't have to suffer their ridiculously heavy cups. ------------- What? |

I'm far too reserved to spark up a conversation with strangers in cafés and coffee shops, I'm happy to sit with my cup of Ah, the amusement of ordering a drink in a Californian branch of Starbucks where they can't understand my English accent:  Personally I'm not bothered by the cost of beverages consumed in cafés and coffee shops, it's not like I drink 10 of cups per visit so £2.20 for an Americano is not something that makes me think, Oh, I can brew ten cups for that price at home. ------------- What? |

Coffe blacker than Ethiopian Darkthrone that gets blown away by the wind when you pour it out, half a liter a day preferably. -------------

I have to raise my price indices since my daughter gave me that birthday present. I have been an avid coffee drinker from an early age. I use to drink 8 cups of coffee on a working day and I average 6.x in the weekend. -------------
