$5 Coffee Anyone - Not Anymore!


As promised, this is a guest post from Bethany North. Join me at Border's Books Saturday June 20,2009 at 1p in Jacksonville, Florida. The address is 10300 Southside Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32256. Have a great weekend.
How are Coffee Drinkers Affected by the Economy?
Good question! You may think that the economy is only affecting the state of the workforce, but coffee drinkers everywhere are feeling the hit. Gone are the leisurely days of standing in long lines at Starbucks and spending five bucks a pop on a venti mocha frappaccino because it is starting to really add up. If you do the math, and you spend five dollars per day on a coffeehouse drink for a year, that is $1825. Shocking! Especially if you are someone looking to cut costs and budget during these economic times. If you take even a fraction of that lump sum, then you can put it toward a premium home espresso maker, like the La Pavoni Napolitana, which retails at $599.99. That is about a third of the cost of your yearly coffee habit! Or, check out the DeLonghi Caffee Nabucco Coffee/Espresso Machine for $79.99 because it actually gives you a 2-in-1 option to either brew coffee or brew espresso on the same machine. That is an amazingly budget friendly device that will save you so much money at a small cost.
Just looking at these examples of expert home coffee brewing technologies will help you to understand why more and more Americans are following the trend of starting to brew coffee at home to save money while the economy is down. Besides the fact that you are keeping dollars in the bank, you also have the added convenience of perfecting your coffee brewing skills, as well as no longer having to wait in a long drive through line at Starbucks on the way to work. Win-win!
For some amazing flavored coffee beans to enjoy in your home coffee brewing, you can find them at The Coffee Bump! I encourage you to explore all of the in-depth flavors and varieties available to you to brew at home, not only for your coffee drinking pleasure, but to save you money as well! Every cup that you drink at home can be another dollar in your kid's college fund... Brilliant.
