Coffee Cost Calculator

Calculate your coffee expenses and discover how much you can save by brewing at home. Compare costs between home brewing and coffee shop purchases.

Home Brew Cost Per Cup = (Cost Per Lb) / 32 cups Daily Cost = Cups Per Day × Cost Per Cup Weekly Cost = Daily Cost × 7 Monthly Cost = Daily Cost × 30 Yearly Cost = Daily Cost × 365 Savings = (Shop Price × Cups × 365) - Yearly Cost
Example: 2 cups/day, $12/lb beans, $5 coffee shop Cost Per Cup = $12 / 32 = $0.375 Daily Cost (home) = 2 × $0.375 = $0.75 Monthly Cost = $0.75 × 30 = $22.50 Yearly Cost = $0.75 × 365 = $273.75 Coffee Shop Yearly = 2 × $5 × 365 = $3,650 Savings = $3,650 - $273.75 = $3,376.25/year!
