“Coffee has become a staple of American culture, helping people stay energized for the workday and bond with friends or dates,” Chip Lupo, WalletHub analyst, said. “But the costs of having one or more cups of Joe daily can add up, especially as prices inflate. In the cities that are craziest about coffee, the average household may spend as much as $327 per year on the beverage. At the same time, as much as 33 [percent] of the population has machines for making coffee at home.”
