New partner insists on paying for ALL my coffee

I don’t know if he’s just trying to be generous or prove that he’s got money. The thing is he doesn’t drink any hot drinks but he’s delighted that I drink coffee. We often popping out to coffee shops and he always pays for my drinks even when I’ve told him I’ll get my own. He’s offered out of the blue to pay for my coffee when I’m not with him, including the stuff I use at home, even suggesting he’d get me a new coffee machine and mugs.

On one hand he’s quite financially responsible and doesn’t gamble or drink but he seems to go gaga at the idea of funding my coffee bits. I’ve told him to spend the money on himself or on stuff we could both enjoy, but he’s not bothered. He’s said that he enjoys paying for it but I still feel rather awkward that it’s stuff only I’d use.

Am I crazy for thinking it’s a bit much for him? I drink a lot of coffee and probably spend about £50 a month. It’s also making me feel a tad leachy if I think about getting coffee with him as I know there’s no chance he’d let me pay for it.
