The Espresso Economics

We all love the convenience and sweet taste of a takeaway latte or frappe. However, have you ever stopped to consider just how much this daily habit is costing you? Prepare to be shocked, because the numbers are downright scary.

Let's break it down. The average cost of a takeaway latte or frappe is about $7. If you're buying one every weekday, that's $49 week. In a month, that adds up to around $200. Over the course of a year, you're looking at a staggering $2,400. Now, imagine if you occasionally indulge in a second coffee or upgrade to a more expensive option – the costs skyrocket even further.

For many, the expense  of coffee goes unnoticed. It slips right under the radar, an innocent and minor daily cost. But when you think about it, $2,400 could be a vacation. A down payment to a car. A start of a college fund. An investment (even a bag).  The reality is that your coffee habit  might keep you hydrated, but it is definitely draining your wallet.

Sound depressing, doesn't it. I´m glad to announce that I´m here to tell you, that it doesn’t have to be this way. You can enjoy your favorite coffee drinks without the exorbitant price tag by making them at home. High-quality coffee beans and syrups are a fraction of the cost compared to daily takeaway coffees.

Making your lattes and frappes at home not only saves you money but also gives you control over the ingredients, ensuring a healthier drink. You can experiment with flavors and sweetness levels to create your perfect cup of coffee.

The takeaway is clear: let´s not get a takeaway.
