Hi,
While trying to justify the outlay of a Rancilio pair to myself, I wondered how long it would take us to break even. Im sure this has been asked before, but I couldnt find such a thread.
Generally, what is your price per cup for an espresso, and milk-based coffee?
Im guessing its something like this:
$9.00 per 250g of beans
250g = about 15 shots?
= $0.60 per coffee
$4.00 per 3l bottle of milk
150ml per milk-based coffee?
= $0.20 per coffee
What other operating costs would I be up for - eg, descaler, etc? (apart from electricity)
So would you say $1.00 per coffee is a reasonable estimate?
Can even more money be saved when roasting your own beans? I presume you could then "buy in bulk".
(Of course, I understand theres a lot more to gain from making your own coffee than just money saved, but I need this justification too!)
