Be A Barista

There is nothing like starting your day with a big mug of hot coffee. With national chains like Starbucks and local coffee houses as well, its very easy to quickly stop in and pick up a cup of Joe. The only problem is, it can be really expensive. At $4 a cup, you could potentially save over $1000 a year by making your own at home.

Start with a great roasted whole bean variety. Watch your favorite supermarket sale paper and stock up when they run a buy one, get one free deal. Invest in a good quality coffee bean grinder and process your own beans fresh when you are ready to brew. Most home coffee makers now have a programmable feature so your warm cup of morning joy can be ready as soon as you roll out of bed.

If you like the fancy coffee flavors available at your favorite java shop, try flavored creamers like French vanilla, mocha or one of the other many flavors available. Making your own coffee at home will save you a stop in the morning and some cash as well!
