If You Have a Coffee Machine....

Ask a Question

For those who have coffee machines, do you think it saves you money?

I mean, compared to buying from Coffee Shops?

It depends on how much the coffee machine costs and what type of machine you buy? I would say nearly all machines are cheaper when compared to buying coffee from shops however it will take longer if buying a high end bean to cup compared to an Aldi capsule machine.

I’m not a coffee drinker so can’t really comment on this one (ironically commenting)

If you are a commuter it seems that you have got to travel with a takeaway coffee every journey, therefore bringing a coffee from a machine at home will save a small fortune

I don’t buy my coffee from coffee shops. I have a coffee machine at home which is used a lot by all the family. Couldn’t be without it and I bulk buy my coffee whenever I see a good coffee deal.

If we are traveling I make coffee for everyone in flasks. In the summer I make cool coffee drinks.

I don't have a coffee machine at home and never drink in coffee shops. What concerns me is how often then 'flush' the coffee machine - could they be mouldy inside? Give me a jar of coffee and a kettle any day.

tumblespots I assume you mean instant coffee, but don't you kind of need a machine or press for coffee beans - when people talk about coffee machines I assume that's what they'd need/want it for.

I rarely buy coffee/drinks out since it just seems expensive compared to my instant coffee etc at home - I don't think I have the tastebuds to notice too great a difference.

But I never thought about the mould...😳

I work in a coffee shop but our prices are lower than most as not same overheads. But at home I just have kettle and preferred coffee. If I travel I might do a flask depending how long my journey is. Otherwise I would just buy one but just a classic one with no add one so usually cheaper.

I bought a gusto one for hubby and it’s now sat on top of the fridge gathering dust. Think may have to sell it off tbh,

100% it saves money. We used to have a pod machine which are not very economical so we now have a bean to cup machine which is well worth it.

I mean surely it would save money over a long period of time as a coffee from starbucks etc is like £4 a time, at least.

Depends how often you have coffee out though i guess. For me it’s pretty rare so it would cost me rather than save me

I have a coffee machine but tbh i don't really use it that much, i am massive coffee drinker but it's quicker to put kettle on 😉 I do think it would be cheaper than a coffee shop but most people use them to socialise.
