9Honey team reveals: 'How much I spend on takeaway coffee per week'
With the cost of living getting higher and higher everyday, it's getting harder and harder to justify the little luxuries – like a takeaway coffee on the way in to work.
Thankfully working from home has lessened the burden a little and we can still afford to treat ourselves.
We asked the 9Honey team how much they spend on their weekly coffees and some of the results are staggering.

Depends! Usually around $4 at my local cafés in Sydney's Inner West.

What is your regular coffee order?
I'll change it up but my go-to is an iced mocha – basic, I know, but you can never go wrong with it.
How much is it?
Around $5.50 at my regular café, which is a bargain in my opinion.
How many times do you get it per week?
Twice per week when I come into the office.
What is your WFH coffee situation (if it's different from your weekly routine)?
I recently bought a pod coffee machine after months of deliberating because I was so sick of instant coffee. Now I'm trying out every variation of flavoured hot and cold drinks (but they're still not the same as the ones from the cafés 😔).
Any café/coffee recommendations?
Underground Espresso in North Sydney – watching them make your coffee is mesmerising. They're always done in under two minutes, no matter what you order.
