Have we lost our minds? Comparing the cost of designer drive-through vs. iGourmet home brew.
College kids are dipping into their college loan funds to support expensive designer coffee habits. And they are not alone. We all rationalize these “small purchases”. Hey, what’s $4 when I need my afternoon pick up? But when you add all of these impulses up over the course of a week or a year, you see the crazy hit to your budget. For example, if you purchase a gourmet coffee and muffin every morning, over the course of one week, you could be spending $50-$70. Up to $2,000 per year. Wow, vacation money. Who knew?
Start packing because you have gourmet coffee options that are at least 20 times less expensive. When you shift from by the cup to by the pound, here is how the savings break down:
A pound of gourmet coffee (16 Ounces or 1 Lb.) divided by 1 1/2 ounces comes to roughly 10 pots of 10 cups (6 Ounce cups) equaling 100 cups for the cost of one pound of gourmet coffee beans. At the average of 1.5 tablespoons per 6 ounce cup and average size of 12 ounce coffee mug, you can expect 50 cups of home brewed coffee per pound of gourmet beans.
iCoffee Gourmet’s per cup price ranges from about .12- .20 cents for the highest quality coffee from all over the world. It will definitely get you thinking about your next vacation. Enjoy.
