    We bulk buy our coffee in bean and grind it ourselves for a fresher taste, usually using the French press to brew (says it is 8 cup but we get 3 of our large mugs out of a pot). Last time we bought them the beans were £22.52 for 4 1kg bags so £5.62 a kg bag.
    That means that for a full pot with 4 coffee scoops (we find this enough usually), it works out to less than 20p a pot. Doing this is much cheaper than coffee pods and in my experience much better coffee than the pods too.
    We both drink a minimum of 2 large coffees a day, 3 each is usual, and I already think our coffee spend is rather high but it is something we both enjoy.
    Hi,

    Fellow coffee addict here. That's a very good price for beans. Would you mind sharing where you buy them?

    Many thanks.
