Add More Coffee Calculators
Use the bag price, net weight, and dose to get the bean cost of one homemade cup. The default is a 12 oz (340 g) bag at $18 with 15 g per cup, about 22.7 cups at $0.79 each. That is bean cost, not a cafe comparison.
If you buy a bag and brew at home, average bean cost per cup is:
bag price × dose ÷ bag weight
The default is a 12 oz (340 g) bag at $18 and 15 g per cup: about 22.7 cups at $0.79 each. Fifteen grams is the same filter starting point as brew ratio and the brew ratio calculator. It is not a required cup size.
Use the net weight printed on the bag. For help understanding the other label information, see how to read a coffee bag; for care after opening, see storing coffee.
Enter what you paid, the grams on the bag, and the dose you actually use. The buttons—½ lb, 1 lb, 250 g, 12 oz, and 1 kg—only save typing; they do not mean a size is a better deal.
The estimated number of servings is the bag’s net weight divided by the dose per cup.
The 15 g dose matches the site’s usual 1:16 filter start. The 12 oz default follows a common North American retail size. A half pound is 227 g and a pound is 454 g on this page, from avoirdupois ounces rounded to whole grams; 250 g is widely cited as a global specialty retail size. These are common packaging sizes; use the net weight printed on your bag.
The default price is not a market survey and not a suggested retail price.
This page does not add filters, water, power, milk, or time, and it does not amortize a grinder or kettle. It cannot tell you that home brewing is cheaper than a cafe, and it cannot tell you whether the coffee tastes good.
No. It is an example value you can replace. Use the price on your bag or receipt.
It matches the site’s brew-ratio calculator—15 g of coffee to 240 g of water, a common 1:16 filter start. For espresso or another recipe, enter the dose you actually use.
It has long been a familiar North American retail size, about 340 g. Buttons also cover a half pound (227 g), 1 lb (454 g), 250 g, and 1 kg. Use the net weight on the package.
The result is the cost of one serving at your selected dose. A final brew using fewer grams costs less. A fractional cup count represents equivalent full-dose servings, not the number of times you brew.
No. It is roasted-coffee cost only. It is not a cafe-versus-home comparison; a shop price also covers rent, labor, and often milk.
