A really-bored man scanned through all 10 seasons of Friends to determine how much coffee each of the sitcom’s characters drank.
Kit Lovelace, a London-based writer, figured out how many cups of coffee each of the characters drank over the course of the show. His results show that Phoebe drank the most coffee, tallying 227 cups. Further, Lovelace also calculated that the group spent Rs 1.33 lakh on coffee throughout the series.

Here are some of his observations...
Because Monica gets a bill in the episode The One With Five Steaks And An Eggplant, we know that one coffee and one scone comes to $4.12.

It's not unreasonable to assume therefore that a coffee is ~$1.50. That being so, including tips, I also worked out how much they spent... pic.twitter.com/2G9xSbqv7c

This works out at roughly $1.46 per character, per episode. Roughly the price of a single Pret filter coffee (before we tanked the pound...)

(FYI: We know they leave 20% tips because in the episode The One With Unagi Joey questions the amount left and Chandler confirms it as 20%.)
