When does an espresso machine pay for itself?

Compare what you spend at the café with the cost of making the same drinks at home.

Café drinks per week

Average café price per drink ($)

Your cost per drink at home ($)Beans plus milk usually run about $0.50 to $1.20 per drink.

Machine and grinder cost ($)

What the estimate leaves out

The calculator ignores electricity, water filters, cleaning tablets and descaler, which add a little to the home cost. It also assumes you replace café drinks one for one. Ready to pick a machine? Find my machine.
