Coffee enthusiasts often wonder about the value of premium coffee compared to more affordable options. In this exploration, we delve into what $20 worth of coffee looks like across three different price points. The aim is to determine which options are worth aspiring to and which may be overrated.
Starting with a budget-friendly option, we examine 98 grams of supermarket coffee, which costs $19.11. This setup allows for approximately 80 cups of coffee, making each cup cost around 25 cents. The process involves using a coffee maker that enhances the flavors, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. The low cost of electricity for boiling water adds to the affordability, making this option appealing for daily coffee drinkers.
Next, we explore mid-range coffee options, specifically from a popular coffee chain. Here, two drinks are prepared: a venti iced blonde white mocha with oat milk and a chocolate waffle frappuccino. While these drinks are visually appealing and offer unique flavors, they tend to be more dessert-like than traditional coffee. The sweetness and rich toppings may overshadow the coffee flavor, leading to a different experience than expected.
Finally, we venture into the realm of luxury coffee by visiting a high-end hotel. The most expensive coffee drink on the menu is sampled, showcasing rich flavors that develop over time. However, despite its premium price, the taste may not justify the cost when compared to the more affordable options. The experience highlights that even with a significant budget, one might prefer the taste of a well-made cup of supermarket coffee over a fancy hotel offering.
The exploration of coffee at various price points reveals that while luxury options may offer a unique experience, they often do not surpass the quality and value of budget-friendly choices. For those who enjoy coffee regularly, making it at home can provide a satisfying experience at a fraction of the cost. Ultimately, the pursuit of wealth for the sake of expensive drinks may not be necessary when affordable options deliver great taste.
