How to Save Money by Brewing Coffee at Home!

By:  Natalie Emmons

Coffee has become America's most popular beverage. How much money a year do you spend on coffee? Let's say most people drop by their local Starbucks on their way to work, to pick up a grande Hazelnut Mocha w/Whip Cream.

That's $3.90, and assuming most people drop in those 10 cents of change in the tip jar, you've just purchased a $4.00 drink. Let's take a look at the numbers here.

$4.00/drink x 5 days/week = $20
$20/week x average of 50 weeks/year = $1000

Yes, that's right. $1000 a year spent on coffee.

And you're probably saying, "But I need my coffee!" And that's probably true. I love my coffee too. But I'm not willing to spend $1000 a year on it.

So I found a solution that works for me, and will work for you: Buy an Espresso Machine. Did you know you can easily make your own drinks at home? It's simple, fun, and inexpensive.

A low grade machine such as a Mr. Coffee Espresso Machine costs approximately $60, yet still makes great coffee. It's perfect for those who want a quick latte before work or after dinner.

Spend $60 on a machine, buy a bottle of your favorite syrup (average 6 bucks), and a 1lb. bag of your favorite coffee roast (average $8/lb). Assuming you'll buy a few bags of coffee a year, let's just put a price of $100 to get started to brewing your own coffee.

You'll save $900 a year on coffee. Your machine will last more then a year, so then after the first year, you'll be getting over 1000 profit by brewing your own coffee at home.
