Hello everyone, I am Hebai, and today I will share with you my consumption summary of coffee beans in 2023. As a migrant worker, I have to brew or brew a pot of coffee by myself every morning, and I like to search for coffee beans recommended by coffee friends to try and enjoy unlimited fun.
This year, a total of 5,873g of coffee beans were purchased, with an average of 16g per day, and a total of 1,584.03 yuan was spent, with an average daily consumption of about 4.34 yuan. For the sake of health, I limit myself to only one drink a day, except for some days when I go out to buy outside, which is very reasonable.
Brands I have purchased this year include: Liangzhi Coffee, Outman Coffee, LetsGrindCoffee, JokerCoffee, Qicheng Colonization, Optometrist, Blake, and Captain George.
Below, I will share a few beans that I will repurchase, divided into Italian beans and hand-poured beans, and 6 beans will be selected for each.
1. Italian beans
My personal preference is medium roasted beans for hot latte, medium light roast for American, and good quality beans for medium and light roast will also be used for milk coffee. So the beans that I will buy back are also based on my own personal taste.
