Great coffee at home, for a fraction of the price
Not "never buy coffee". Just fewer, by choice.
A coffee out a few times a week is a real pleasure, and a real cost. Making most of them at home, and keeping the ones you love most, is one of the easiest swaps there is.
Make it worth it
- Buy beans or grounds you actually like
- A simple brewer, French press or pour-over works well
- A travel mug makes home coffee portable
- Cold brew in the fridge is cheap and fast in summer
Keep the treat
Pick the coffee out you enjoy most, like Friday with a friend, and keep that one. Swap the ones you buy out of habit.
