Domande frequenti

How much do I really spend on coffee yearly?

$5/day coffee × 365 = $1,825/year. Often higher than people realise (10+ years × $1,825 = $18K).

Can I save money by brewing at home?

Home brew: ~$0.50/cup. Café: $4–6. Savings: ~$1,200–2,000/year if you drink 2 cups daily.

Is the savings worth it?

Depends on your priorities. Coffee is a small daily joy; total it across a decade to see opportunity cost.
