Your daily trip to the coffee shop could be costing you around $4 per day.  Over 12 months, this could easily add up to $1500 out of your pocket.   Compare that to the cost of brewing your Java at home which amounts to only a few cents per day and decide for yourself.

Here are a few simple steps that you can take to duplicate the quality that you’ve been pay big bucks for.

  1. Get a screw on water filter from target or walmart and only use filtered water when making your coffee.
  2. Pick up quality coffee from Target, Walmart or even Costco.  Freshly grinding your coffee beans at home will somewhat improve the flavor of the coffee.  So, consider this step if you have the time and patience.
  3. Pour the coffee into a well insulated stainless steel (inside and out) commuter mug to keep it warm and your ready to hit the road with one less stop to make on the way to work.
