I happened to think of actually noting down the date at which I
started using a 14 oz container of Trader Joe's Organic Bolivian Blend
coffee and I find, making 2 mugs or 4 cups of coffee per day, that the
coffee lasted 20 days. So, given that I paid $8 for the coffee, that's
10 cents a 5 oz cup or 20 cents a mug. Beat that Starbucks!

Speaking of coffee prices..... I caught a news show today that says they
are falling. There were a couple bad years and prices went up. Some
producers were holding on to their stocks hoping to get a better price
for them. It seems that there is going to be a bountiful coffee crop
this year. That should drive prices down, and the price drop should be
compounded as the hoarders try to dump their stores.

You really need to find a hobby!! ;-)


But thanks for reminding me, I have to buy some more beans for work.......
I have the 'big bosses' coming to see us next week..... and they like my
flat whites, cappuccino's, and long blacks :-)

They don't realise that all it is, is the flavour of the beans that makes
the coffee so good.

Oh, and good texturing of the milk :-)

I use more coffee than that to make the same # of cups, but still, we're talking not much more than a dollar a day for 3 mugs of delicious coffee, including the half&half I put in it. If only alcohol were as cheap as caffeine

sugar....prob. drive it up a whole cent or two. : ))

I wonder if that means the 12 oz "1 lb bag" will become 13 oz?

That's really good news. The price of Costco's "San Francisco Bay French"
beans has gone from $4/lb to $6.50/lb in a fairly short period of time.
That's my benchmark bean. I haven't found anything to beat it. I suppose, if
you doubled the price.

I read the whole thread and I'm still wondering how much coffee
statistics cost. :-)
