Melbourne coffee hack to save Aussie thousands of dollars: 'Best coffee ever'

Nearly 9 in 10 Aussies (87 per cent) have actively cut back on spending to safeguard their financial stability amidst the cost-of-living crisis - research from Real Insurance reveals – with non-essentials like takeaway food and beverages one of the first and most common (65 per cent) costs to be cut.

After all, an average takeaway coffee hovers around $6 and premium options reach up to $8 - so your regular caffeine fix could easily be costing you between $2,190 to $2,920 a year if you get one every day! But as any coffee lover (or parent) out there would know, a fresh brew isn’t a luxury - it's a necessity to help get us through the day, and, no, I am not exaggerating.

How to save money on your daily cup of coffee

To help meet both our needs – saving money and caffeine – is Thieves Coffee, an Aussie subscription service that offers top quality, ethically sourced beans right to your door meaning that you can get the good stuff, right at home saving you money but not substituting on anything else.

Being Melbourne-based (the Mecca of coffee) means that they of course know their stuff and use their experience and skills to curate a selection of different beans from a collection of roasters each month, meaning very satisfied customers.

Variety of coffee can pleases picky coffee lovers

A part of this satisfaction is generated by (in my eyes at least), the variety. From Rumble Coffee, Brightside Coffee, Standing Room, Square One Coffee, Margaret River Roasting Co. to my favourite, ST Ali – there have been roasters big and small represented amongst their monthly offerings, meaning you never get bored (if that is at all possible when it comes to coffee).

Plus, the coffee is curated to your brew style – espresso, filter, ground coffee, or decaf – meaning it doesn’t matter what equipment or style you prefer, you can still enjoy coffee delivered straight to your door.

Thieves Coffee has a whopping 47.1k followers on Instagram – followed by fellow coffee roasters, caffeine connoisseurs and everyday Cup of Joe fans alike – making it pretty clear that they are doing one fine job of balancing cost, flavour and that needed coffee fix.

“Ahhhh the best!” one follower said. “Looks amazing,” wrote another. While a third said: “Best coffee ever They do a fantastic job.”
