My co-worker brought this one in for us to use. |
Grande Starbucks Latte: $4.40.
Once a week for a year: $228.80.
Gallon of milk: $3.93.
Pound of espresso from Starbucks: $12.99. (When it is purchased in-store, Starbucks will give you a free tall cup of coffee. Some stores even do a free tall latte, so be sure to ask.)
The cost of a home-made Grande Latte is about 82¢, meaning that if just one latte a week is made at home instead of purchased out, the annual savings is $186.16, not including the cost of the machine.
I used to use this type regularly on my stove top.
It
requires a bit more hands-on time, but is simple to use.

To re-create the Starbucks lattes at home, use these guidelines:
Tall Lattes are 12oz, one of which is a single shot of espresso.
Grande Lattes are 16oz, two of which are espresso (two shots), and 14 of which are steamed milk.
Venti Lattes are 20oz, but just like the Grande, the Venti has two shots of espresso, making the milk portion 18oz.
Of course, switching to coffee made at home is even less expensive, but that might be too much of a jump for those of us who are latte-addicted.
Espresso makers under $100 (some as low as $50)
Stove top espresso maker under $10
The saving of making coffee at home is insane!
