How the Coffee Cost Calculator works
Enter the price and size of your coffee package, then add the amount of coffee you use for each drink. The calculator divides the package cost by the number of possible servings and adds optional milk, sweetener, filters, syrups or other extras.
You can also compare your homemade coffee with the price of a coffee shop drink. This gives you an estimate of your savings per cup, per month and per year.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the cost of coffee per cup?
Divide the package weight by the amount of coffee used per serving. Then divide the package price by the number of servings. Add milk, filters, sweeteners and other extras for a more complete estimate.
How many cups can I make from a bag of coffee?
A 340-gram bag makes about 18 cups when using 18 grams per drink. Using a smaller dose increases the number of servings, while espresso recipes or stronger brews may use more coffee.
Is homemade coffee cheaper than coffee shop coffee?
In most cases, yes. Even specialty coffee prepared at home often costs much less per serving than a café drink, especially when you already own the brewing equipment.
