Home Brew for the Holidays
OK, My name is Seth and I'm a Starbucks-a-holic... There, I said it.... I've admitted that I'm powerless over pricey coffee and that no human power can relieve me from my addiction.
So here's the math:
Venti Americano $2.85 x 2 = $5.70 me
Venti Latte $3.65 x 2 = $7.30 Suzanne
Daily Family dose =$13.00 (minimum)
x 365 annual =$4745.00
Espresso machine $700.
lb of coffee $10 x 52 $520.
Annual $1220.00
first year savings $3525.
Second year $4225.00
Break even = 60 days
The moral of the story? If you have a daily habit of Starbucks, and you can, truly, do the home brew (get a thermos!).... And you have been telling yourself that you can't afford the espresso machine....... The numbers show that we can't afford NOT to get the espresso machine!
Merry Christmas! Get a nice machine... just push a button! Steam the milk!
Now,if you've been making a special car trip to get the coffee shop, you've got some fuel savings, too! ( W00T! .. that officially became a word today... don't ask! ).
Sorry Starbucks! I'll probably have to stop shelling out $3.45 for a cup of yogurt, too!

you'll have to train gabi and kyle to work the counter and wear green aprons and listen to bad indie rock really loud to get the full effect, but i do like your math and feel the same way. it's so popular because it's so darn convenient.
there's this one gas station that has a sign on top of the pump that says "because getting your name on a cup is childish, grow up and wake up" and it's for this double caffeine brew. it is rather delicious and only 1.19 for the equivalent of a grande. *poiiing - eyes shooting open*
another thing you can do to acheive authenticity is to stack up a bunch of cds on the kitchen counter. that's why the prices are so high because they have all the retail overhead and product.
way too much.
