Ever wondered what all that coffee is doing for your health as well as your wealth?
It actually only works out to 2 coffees per day for hubby and I, and maybe once a week it is 3, but that's quite rare. It's strictly latte with breakfast and latte at morning tea - no afternoon coffee's here (unless I'm watching Le Tour de France - then one is needed in the arvo )
Now that we have it it's an entertainment "tool" as well, so in all fairness while 4000 cups is a lot, it's not just hubby and I consuming - it always gets a workout when friends/family drop over. Our families are quite large when we congreate, so the machine has been known to make 15 coffee's in a sitting on a number of occassions. 4000 certainly isn't reflective of what I'd be prepared to purchase from a store.
As for the health aspects, hubby and I are fit and active mid 30's couple who are within the healthy range of our respective BMI. 2 cups a day isn't too bad - we don't drink Nescafe or any other coffee, only drink green tea and don't drink other caffinated drinks. We also rarely drink alcohol and have never smoked, so 2 latte sized caffine drinks per day in my opinion isn't excessive, but conceed that the wording of my original post would ring some warning bells.
Hehe, that works out similar to my maths:
0 x $3.50 per coffee + no coffee habit = $14,000 not spent
Hubby and I work from home, so technically we don't own the machine - the business does, and it pays for the coffee, milk sugar etc.....so technically it doesn't cost me a cent in my after tax income.
