6. "I spend around RM10 to RM12 per cup. On average four to five times a week. So, RM40 per week x four weeks = RM160."

"I get Arabica – usually from Zus."

7. "The amount I spend on coffee varies from where I get it"

"Sometimes, I get it from local brands like Zus/Tealive/Gigi Coffee, or if I wanna splurge on something pricier, then I'd get it from cafes in KL, Subang, etc. So, the maximum I've spent on coffee monthly would be nearly RM400."
