Including all the accoutrements such as sugar, sweeteners, milk, other creamers, flavorings, spices, etc used to make it the way you like to drink it. I'm not including the expense of driving 5 miles for a cup of joe, but you may if you want to.
Include coffee (not energy drinks or caffeinated carbonated beverages) bought outside the home, but please separate this from in home coffee use and expenses if possible. I was surprised to find that my biggest 'in home' coffee expense was actually the creamer/dairy component.
You might include how many '6 ounce equivalent' cups a day you drink for clarification, too. I know some who drink the equivalent of coffee syrup, one of their cups would probably equal four of mine.
First example, if you have a K-cup to start the day before leaving home, then you have a free cup from work for your mid-morning pick-me-up and another from the cafe down the street you might say:
In home, one cup cafe-au-lait at a buck a day and double that on weekends about $460/yr.
Outside, one freebie at work = ZERO.
Outside, one barrista special (double coffee) at $5 per workday about $1250/yr.
Total around $1710/year for roughly 4 cups a day.
Second example, if there is a convenience store nearby that sells quart sized 'cups' for a buck. You get one a day which lasts all day long, your cost would be about $365 a year for roughly 5 cups a day.
Just curious. I was just reminiscing about a trip taken many years ago with the hotel room service charge for a 4 cup carafe of coffee was around $20 back then. Wow!
