    easily €70 if not more, €2.70 a cup per day 5 days a week minimum then I'd buy probably two bags of has bean for home.

    I reckon about AU$160-180 p/m, euro equivalent would be €130-145.

    Far too much to divulge on a public forum ;)

    I really don't want to add it all up ...between my 3 x Yearly Subscriptions, Green Bean orders from HasBean and visits to 3fe when in town I'd say I easily spend €120 a month ... never mind all the brewing equipment, cleaners,filter papers etc

    Don't know really, I've a couple of subscriptions that deliver weekly/monthly, hasbean/SqMile. I'd also have to top that up semi regularly with other orders.

    That's a lot. What sort of coffee are you buying out? Would you not just stick v60 or a french press in work?

    I would say not enough but i know the wife would probably say too much

    cappuccino take out in humble bean, i might think about getting an aeropress for the office, bean to cup machine is there but generic coffee that's just too acidic for me.

    I've stopped buying coffee out unless I'm near 3Fe.

    So atm just short of 50e per month

    I would imagine if you work from home or there's more than one of you drinking at home it's easily done :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Curry Addict


    yep 2 of us at home drinking about 8 cups a day each :)

    Nothing, I get my fix every morning at work, the perks to being a barista.

    Got a job in a kitchen in a busy coffee shop in June, did a little barista training but not much, the manager left in October to run a big hostel, cue me putting my hat in the ring for his job, being successful and then travelling up and down to Galway for coffee training.
    Before I got the job I was a tea drinker but since October I have developed a love for coffee. There is a lot to learn and I am enjoying it.

    I spend about €50 - €60 a month on pods (for the machine that shall not be named :)). I'm the only coffee drinker in the house so this works well for me.

    Spend about Aus$50 per month. Roast my own so depends on the price of the greens. If I buy roasted, maybe another $25 for 500gms for single origin. So about $75 (Euro 60). Sometimes less/more.

    at least one (2-3 times a week it would be two) large latte a day at work from the subsidised costa coffee station in the canteen at €2.50 for a large/massimo/venti type bucket of coffee, usually with and extra shot to perk it up a bit.

    then probably a €5 bag of beans at home every other week (weekends and the occasional working from home day), so probably between €70 and €100 per month, which i used to think was a lot until i started reading this thread. :D
