At these figures, brewing at home costs less per year than buying from a café — before the cost of equipment.

The formula

Cost per cup = bag price ÷ bag size (g) × coffee per cup (g) + extras per cup.

Per year = cost per cup × cups per day × 365. This is a planning estimate using your numbers only; it doesn't include equipment, water or electricity.
