    Good coffee. It’s always worth it for me. There’s still an upper limit of super-expensiveness I won’t go past, but neither do I cheap out.

      I’m the same with tea. Cheap tea is awful, good tea is amazing. Unfortunately expensive ≠ good. Thankfully I’ve found a good supplier, for a reasonable price (for the quality).

      Similarly, £1’s worth of really great chocolate is usually more satisfying than £1’s worth of cheap rubbish even though the actual quantities are vastly different.

      And a good coffee grinder. The difference in freshness is quite noticable when grinding whole beans right before brewing a pot.

      It took me a while, but eventually realized that the price of the good stuff was still maybe a tenth the cost of getting coffee from a kiosk.

      Roasting coffee is a great hobby and has an incredibly fast ROI if you start with the popcorn maker method. I get best in class beans for less than half their roasted cost.
