- Chilko 4y agoHow big is this $15 bag of coffee that you finish in a week? Here in New Zealand a standard 200g bag of beans from a good roastery is no more than $10 NZD, about $6 USD.
- ihatepython 4y agomaybe 12oz, but this is high quality, not at all like the stuff you would get in Wellington /s

Pretty wild, but IMHO San Francisco has some of the best cafes, baristas, and actual drinks. I moved to Southern California and it's still good and they charge almost as much too but still not as good.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoIn my area, the cheaper end of quality beans is roughly $1/1oz, so 200g would be $7 (Though, I find beans are usually sold 12oz (340g) per package). Personally, a 12oz bag last me roughly 2 weeks, but I only drink 1 cup per day.
- xyzzyz 4y agoI don't doubt that some people will spend as much, that's not hard. My point is that most definitely don't. Most people don't buy $15 bags every week. Hell, instant coffee is something like 20% of the whole market by revenue, and considering how cheap it is compared to quality coffee, I think there are more people who drink Folgers than those who spend $1000/year on coffee.
