Coffee prices in London are absurd. A normal Latte costs on average £3.5 ($4.35 at the current low rate). I bought a Sage Oracle espresso machine for home which comes at £1300 and order weekly 250g of specialty beans which cost £8. I drink two cups of coffee every single day, which means that I consume on average 730 coffees a year. My wife also drinks at least one coffee a day, which makes a total of 1095 coffees which we drink in a single year. The coffee machine is super expensive, but has a two year manufacturer's warranty, which means we will get at least two years use of it. £1300 / (2 x 365) = £1.78 per day We brew on average 3 coffees a day: £1.78 / 3 = £0.59 A bag of 250g coffee beans lasts us a bit more than one week or roughly 25-30 cups depending on the grind: £8 / 25 = £0.32 In the absolute worst case scenario, if our machine breaks beyond repair after only two years of use, we still end up drinking every day some of the best Central and South American Organic coffee, freshly roasted in the UK and brewed in a top coffee machine to perfection for less than a £1 per cup. The coffee is better than from any shops I've had in London, is right at my fingertip at home and more healthy due to the special organic beans which we order. Drinking coffee at home in my garden or at my breakfast table is also a lot more enjoyable than sipping it through an un-recycable paper cup in the rush of the city. In comparison, if we were to buy £3.5 coffees every day, we'd be spending £2737 more every year. Long story short: If you are a coffee lover, then buy yourself a fancy expensive espresso machine and go on a two week holiday to Colombia or Peru or somewhere with the monies which you save by not buying some shit overpriced dirty water from Starbucks and the likes.
