I recently did a post on cold brew coffee. The beauty of it is the fact that you can use the concentrate in anything from espresso to lattes to milk shakes.

You have a nice list of 19 ways to save money on coffee and one unethical way to get by with something.

#19 is referred to as a Ghetto Latte and tremendously unfair to small shop owners. That milk/cream is placed there for small garnishment of drip coffee, not cheating the shop owners. The milk is not free to the business and should not be abused to make an entire drink.

Try storing your coffee in the freezer. It will stay fresh much longer.

Shellie: I’m not too far from Concord. Good to know.

Maple Mum: Thanks for the info. I know what you mean. If you treat yourself everyday, then it just tastes like the same ole stuff. A treat every now and then makes it special.

I hear you! I am very fussy about my coffee. With a very active 11 month old, I look forward to my strong morning cup as well as my afternoon lighter, flavored cup. But I just can’t do the generic, traditional grocery store already-ground coffees. For those who like it strong, French Press is a great way to go and also ensures you don’t end up wasting. As an aside, of all the coffees I’ve had, my absolute favorites are Dean and Deluca (NYC), Steve-O-Renos Cappucino (Organic French Roast, Nova Scotia, Canada), Kicking Horse 465 Horse Power (BC, Canada) and crazy as it may sound, the Berkley and Jensen French Roast (Whole Bean) from Bj’s Wholesale Club is pretty great. Alot of the wholesale clubs sell Starbucks beans and other great brands in bulk for great prices.
Another thing is that when I only treat myself to a SB’s Hazelnut Latte or Caramel Machiatto once a week or every two weeks, it tastes so much better than if I have one everyday for a few days! Thanks for the post!!

Just a little side note, did you know that Dunkin Doughnut and McDonalds get their coffee from the same distruibuter? It is basically the same, from S&D Coffee in little ole’ Concord, NC. A bit of useless knowledge to help feed your soul!!
