A few cents a cup?! Where do you buy your coffee? I buy coffee at about 12 bucks a pound. A pound makes about ten carafes of 4 cups (tbh, I use the term cup loosely, because a mug for me is more like 1.5 to 2 actual measuring cups) each. I get to more like 30 to 40 cents a cup. It seems like there might be potential for major cost savings.

I buy 12 oz bags of ground coffee for $7.99 last time I bought it, which is up from $5.99 it used to be.

That'll last for a couple weeks, at 12 cups (actual cups) a day.

Coffee is my cheapest vices. I love coffee. When the pandemic hit, I stocked up on coffee.

Aha, maybe I'm putting dramatically too many grounds into my coffee, haha.
Bloody hell, I live in a famously high cost country (Norway) and I can get perfectly acceptable coffee for half that price.
