    Re: How long does your coffee last?

    4 cups a day (2 for me and 2 for the wife) - 500gms a week - I roast 1.2kg of greens every two weeks which gives me about 1kg roasted - works for me. I dont drink coffee at work.

      Wow,
      I feel like an addict.....  I am on about 6 cups a day (Im the only one in my house who drinks coffee - Mrs Mariner is a cultural Philistine.....) average, probably 4 x double shot espressos and at least 2 x flat whites, used to be more milk coffee, but it was just too much.  The espresso is small and lovely to drink. I also make brews for all who come over so easily add another 12+ onto weekly production....

      When at sea we have a Jura Imprezza 8, I limit myself to 3 x 3 double shots with soy in a large keep cup.

      Rule of thumb is to have a large glass of water with every brew - avoids dehydration and (so my dentist tells me) is good for your teeth.

        15g in each shot. One or two per day, so 300g if I have guests who drink coffee, especially if it means I bring out the plunger for a mob.

        Roasted coffee that friends buy off me is probably 400-500g per week on average.

        So, there I go. Looks like I have to roast a kilogram each week just to keep up with myself!

          I reckon I would have the record for smallest usage and longest duration for a 500g bag.
          I am too lazy to fire up my machine during the week (usually go to cafes with friends) so it mainly only gets used on weekends. Result is that a 500g bag lasts me around 6 weeks. Yes - after week 4 I can definately pick a deterioration in quality but ONLY by reference to my own best shots. Its still superior to any but my favourite cafe. Had a couple for Morning tea today to use up the last of my old bean whilst awaiting my next bag from Andy. Still pretty damn good coffee from 6 week old bean.

            I use between 250g and 300g a week on average.
            A double for myself and my partner each morning, double that on weekends, plus extra for guests.

              I roast 625g at a time, divide it into two 260g bags sealed and that last about 2-3 weeks. This gives me two double shots (14g) almost everyday.

                Up to about 500g/week (and most of that on the weekend, consumption will probably increase a bit when I have a dedicated Decaf grinder).

                Theres quite a bit of wastage there though, its still early days on the learning curve. Its not uncommon for me to pull a bunch of shots, sample them then dump them, and also the odd incident where I screw up my tamp badly enough that when I invert the PF over the bin to get rid of loose grounds the whole puck falls out...

                  I too use to drink a lot less coffee than i do now. I would drink 6-7 cups a day. My partner she drinks a little less but is starting to drink a lot more. I go through about 1-1.5 kg a week. Im happy to admit this

                    I go through 500g in a bit over a fortnight, thought that was fast :S. Have to watch it when friends/family come over though, thatll chew through the coffee stash in no time.
