How we estimate your current recurring costs

These values are used to estimate your monthly at-home coffee cost based on your current inputs. Coffee and milk are calculated using whole-package purchases, so your totals may increase when an additional bag or gallon is needed.

  • Coffee bag $23.99 / 28 oz 18g of coffee per drink
  • Milk $4.07 / 128 oz 4oz of milk per drink
  • Water filter $12.67 / month Fixed monthly average for water filters

Default Values

These are default reference values for a single-person coffee routine and are intended as a starting point. You can adjust any values in additional options and customizations to better match your setup.

  • Coffee bar setup cost $1,524.00 Machine, grinder, accessories, and cleaning supplies
  • Starting recurring monthly home cost $68.79 Based on 2 drinks per day for one person at home
  • Café price per drink $3–$6 Café price used: $5.00
  • Daily drinks 2 cups Based on a single-person estimate

Disclaimer: These savings are estimates based on average prices and usage assumptions and may not reflect exact savings. Actual costs will vary based on coffee type, ingredients, maintenance, and personal habits. Estimated home coffee costs use whole-package purchases for coffee bags and milk, while water filter cost stays fixed monthly. Whole-package pricing may cause monthly ingredient costs to step up when an additional bag or gallon of milk is needed.
