I use beans, and I only spend about $30 a month for my four espressos per day -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 07:09 3
- I think we should call you Tweak from now on. -- nm - zork - should be tabulating Feb 11, 07:11 2
  - I understand there's less caffeine in espresso than in filter coffee. Something to do with the water being pushed through the grounds faster - Roger More Feb 11, 07:14 1
    - one shot of espresso has the same amount of caffiene as about 4-6 ounces of regular coffee. I don't know anyone who drinks just 4-6 ounces of regular - znufrii Feb 11, 07:15
you'd think, but a pound of beans is only $20 or $25, and it lasts at least a couple weeks. - mafic Feb 11, 07:09 9
- if you're spending $20-$25 on a pound of beans here you're getting ripped off. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:13 7
  - I was about to say. That is some expensive coffee. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 07:17 4
    - unless you're getting Jamaican Blue Mountain that is... -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:18 3
      - that's $50 to $70 a pound here. my coffe store sells at $16 to $18 a pound (Canadian $, of course) -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 07:21 1
        
        sounds about right -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:21
      - and if it's kona, that's a bargain. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 07:19
  - depends on the store and the flavour -- nm - zork - should be tabulating Feb 11, 07:15 1
    - even Starbucks generally tops out at $15/pound, most are between 10 and 12 -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:17
