No coffee drinker I know only gets their fix 3 times a week. $10 x 7 = $70 x 4 = $280 a month. That's a lot of, um, interior love. lol

I can't start my morning without coffee. Probably not a good thing.

Then make your own for pennies. I grind up my own Lavaza beans that I get from Costco and save a ton of money.

I grind up beans to make coldbrew at home. But still pretty expensive considering 120g makes only 1L of coffee concentrate that I finish in 2 days.

I cold brew also and it does consume a lot of coffee. But for a cup of hot joe, you can't beat the price to brew at home.

Don't drink much coffee these days. Usually a cup in the morning after a shower and getting a few things done around the house. If it gets too late in the morning I just skip it. Sometimes, but rarely, a small cup in the early evening.

Used to drink much more. A few cups in the morning before I did anything. Then a cup or two in the afternoon. Felt like I really needed it when I was younger. Not any more. Nice to have a cup in the morning but if I skip it because it's too late I'm fine without it.

Did I mention I'm retired?

This sound reminiscent of chain emails. Something like, "Pass this on if you're a "Patriot" or whatever.
