Finding a decent coffee shop takes time. A doubleshot of espresso often costs between $2 and $4, but it takes time to find a barista who knows what they're doing.

As far as brewing coffee at home for yourself goes:

A 12 oz bag of decent coffee usually costs about $20.

You'll want a grinder. The cheap option is the Hario Skerton, at $40. It's a little inconsistent, but if you're asking if you like coffee then it's a good place to start.

If you're just starting out, you can probably live with an aeropress, which is also in the $40-$50 range. If you're a caffeine addict and you know you're gonna be drinking 3 cups at a time, then you might just go ahead and start with a chemex instead, which costs $60-$80.

You need a mug. These can be gotten arbitrarily cheap.

You need filters. The cost of these depends on how you're brewing, but they're usually sold in $20 packs regardless.

You need something that boils water. You should have this already, but if you don't have a teakettle or something then you can get one for $20.

So, equipment costs are about $120, and if you drink a cup a day then this is about $100 annually? You save money brewing at home.

This is all of course for pour-overs, which is how most people get into coffee snobbery. Espresso machines cost stupid amounts of money and aren't really worth laying money down for, no matter how much of a coffee snob you are.
