Coffee Spending FAQ
Everything you need to know about tracking, understanding, and reducing your daily coffee expenses.
The average UK coffee drinker spends around £40 to £60 per month on coffee shop visits. This assumes roughly 4 to 5 visits per week at an average cost of £3.50 to £4.00 per drink.
Yes, significantly. A homemade coffee typically costs between 20p and 50p per cup, depending on the beans and milk used. Over a year, switching from a daily £3.50 coffee shop visit to home-brewed coffee can save you over £1,200.
You can reduce spending by bringing your own reusable cup (which often grants a 20p to 50p discount), limiting visits to 2-3 times a week as a treat, skipping expensive add-ons like extra shots or syrups, and taking advantage of coffee shop loyalty apps.
They can, but only if you were already planning to buy that coffee. Loyalty programs are designed to encourage frequent visits. If a free drink reward requires 10 purchases, ensure you aren’t buying extra items just to reach the reward threshold.
