Making Coffee Is Better Than Buying It

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wesley chapter.

Less Expensive 

Of course, buying coffee tends to be more on the pricey side, so if you’re seeking to save some money, making your own coffee is the way to go. I used to spend so much money on buying coffee, and this became such a bad spending habit to the point where I barely had the money for food as a college student. It is cheaper to buy your coffee machine, ground coffee, and foam cups than buying coffee daily. To make your coffee, you will need a coffee machine which can range from $50 to $200, a mug or cup which may cost you about $5 to $20, and foam cups which may range from $5 to $10, depending on the amount you want. The coffee machine is a one- time, and the cups and purchase which totals to $60 to $230. Now, by buying coffee every day or almost daily, you will be spending about $1,000 to $2,000 per year. Knowing this, I decided to change my spending habits and started making my own coffee. 

Gain Inspiration

TikTok is a very popular platform at the moment where people share their ideas, creativity, and businesses. Some people also share ways in which they make their coffee. Usually, they use fruits or certain things they have to be creative with their coffee. Now, if you want your coffee to taste like Starbucks’ coffee, some people even share some tips on how to make their coffee on TikTok. You can even google some recipes or ideas for coffee to make it the way you want. This way, you will be inspired to make the perfect coffee to your liking. 

Express Creativity 

You can try to make your own coffee and be as creative as possible. You can buy certain items or ingredients to make your coffee look fun and enjoyable. You can also use whatever you have available to make your perfect coffee. I like to play around with whip cream, so I use it to make designs, and try to make my coffee as appealing as possible. This is your time to make a coffee that represents you and your personality.
