Student coffee drinking etc

Hi there, I'm looking for some help. I'm a teacher and next week it's my turn to do an assembly for Upper sixth and I thought I would show them how to make a latte with an aeropress and a milk frother. I wanted to give them some costing comparisons to go with it but a quick Google doesn't turn anything up so I wondered if anyone knew the savings to be made before I do the maths?

I'd also like to suggest a few other ways to tackle expensive habits students are supposed to have...aside from growing your own avocados, what else might I add?

Greggs charge £1.75 for a medium latte (the smallest they do). This website will allow you to compare this price with the major coffee stores: https://uk.menuwithprice.com

I imagine that you mean that you want to demonstrate to students how to make 'posh' coffees at home (machines cost about £100) instead of heading out to Costa or Starbucks. I wish the home devices where around when I was at university, would have saved me a fortune!

One of my best tips, is for students to go and do their supermarket shopping after 6pm, when the stores mark their perishable items to rock bottom.

Our student son bought himself this coffee maker - it has a timer so he wakes to freshly made coffee. it comes with s reusable travel flask to take to lectures https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Dishware-Serving-Pieces/Russell-Hobbs-22630-Machine-Stainless/B00VR!!!DS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1540333423&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=brew+and+go&psc=1
A bag of ground coffee is less than £2 and lasts him a couple of weeks (20+ cups of coffee) so 10p a cup.
He takes it black so not idea about frothy milk!
