      after roasting and grinding, about 230 shots of coffee. for peru @ $28.75/kg green, that makes it about 12 cents per shot

        That should be 28.75/2.5kg.

          With a <9 gm dose, ..........half that or less with 18 or 20 odd grams.

          Some wastage, some dialling in, some sinked shots, ...........realistically < >80 shots (@ 30c each approx, for the Peru).

          Amazing value coffee and if you double the purchase price .... (Yemeni and Maui coffees) and pay 60-80c shot........ awesome value. :-D

            Woops typo! Yep I meant $28.75 / bag = 2.5kg.

            Final amount is still around 12 cents though:
            2.5 kg green beans = ~2.08 kg roasted beans
            $28.75 / bag = $13.80 for a kilo of roasted beans
            9 grams per shot = 111 shots per kilo
            $13.80 / 111 = 12 cents per shot

              In a perfect world.... where we all used 9gms/shot, had no wastage, no retention,
              no need to purge grind paths, no dialling in and postage was free.

              Wouldn't that be nice! ;-D

                I didn't say all shots would be drinkable :P

                The only guarantee is that it will be significantly cheaper than buying roasted beans, and it's more relaxing to roast small quantities at your own pace. It's extremely liberating

                I've had 2 yemen lattes so far, grinder is almost dialled in but already the taste is a world apart from the Peru and Brazil. So much more nuttiness on the nose and I'm already getting some fruitiness on the palate. Definitely a chaff monster (I thought the brazil PN was chaffy) but nothing the icoffee can't handle.

                  ...and a little bit of power, and the economic depreciation on roasting equipment....but yeh, it's still great.

                    No worries chylld ;-) Understand where you're coming from! :-D

                    As a business owner/operator I need to know the cost of all inputs, including the extra detail BO'S
                    has added below ( and more!, things like the real cost of all our coffee making equipment, vehicles, fuel,
                    printing, stationery etc etc.... it's a long list!!. Currently my biggest selling blend
                    costs me $12.42 / kg to produce.........roasted, packed and ready to go 'ex roastery').

                    All the hidden costs come out of the woodwork once you lift the corner of the rug!!
