Pro tip: switched from a $9 latte habit to a $12 bag of beans and I'm saving $140 a month

I was buying a latte every work morning at the shop near my office in Portland, that's about $180 a month. Last month I bought a $12 bag of whole beans and a $20 grinder, and now I make it at home before I leave. The first week tasted rough but I got the hang of it by week two. Anyone else make the swap and did you stick with it?
