Turns out if you don't count the grinder, the scales, the cups, the WDT tool, and the "just trying a different bean" subscriptions… you cam errr… buy a house in Italy.

Love it. Apparently I will get rich!
Great job, howz about mod for AUD?
Once more barista maths fails to understand the inflation of coffee consumption while having a machine at home and still uses a 1/1 conversion rate.
God, I think I’m going to be rich! Thanks ~
I’ll take a look, but even I’m sceptical
You should keep the coffee shop price flexible. Where I live, a cup of coffee costs 10 USD on average.
Make a slider (or custom field) for coffee shop prices, too, and you won’t need currencies at all. Let people put whatever number they want for each field.
It’s not in euros and i really don’t see why there’s not a way to just enter any number I want
I’m a long black guy but usually my second is a milk drink. Milk cost would be a good add – though I suppose you could fold into the bean budget.
Btw this is awesome.
Why only 6 coffees?
Still, even with 6 I can justify $10.000 equipment and buy a house in 10 years.
Love this idea and the setup builder! But it spit out the Breville Smart Grinder as my grinder, which I would not recommend for espresso. How many options are there? Certainly.Baratza Encore ESP or D54 would be in the same price range?
I save GBP5642 per year. And that is an underestimation, as they say 10+, but I had my Pavoni for over 20 years.

Making coffee at home has never been a business case for me. I like making and drinking my own brews but as soon as I see a nice coffee bar somewhere I will also check out their espresso. But the tool works nice if you take this whole coffee thing with a grain of salt 🙂
Nice work!
I need to go lower on the bean budget. 2lbs of Costo at $15 will last me 3 weeks (don’t judge, I found a decent daily driver) 😀 Also, need a milk budget.
It’d be nice to have it work out cost per cup by inputting your recipe and cost of ingredients, e.g. 18g of beans + 200ml milk… Ingredients being beans at $15 / 2lbs (in my case), and milk at $2.49 / gallon. Also, how many cups per day (x2 in my case) for total monthly cost.
“You’re basically getting PAID to drink espresso at home” lmao
Thanks for sharing
The sliders are too modest, coffees per day: should be more, monthly bean budget is more like weekly
Machine and grinder budget, missing a digit on premium (r/circlejerk level is missing)
That is amazing actually never thought about ot like that. Very different approach at the whole make ur own espresso .
Love it
Cool but you should allow entering a custom amount in “Coffee shop price”. In Europe an espresso is often 1.8-2€
Fun. You might be inspired by these guys for other parameters to add. Clearly a significant segment of the coffee-making market has to convince their partner that their setup will pay for itself….

I don’t do home espresso to save money. I do home espresso to drink espresso at home. I pay extra for the convenience
This math is mathing and I am loving it!
Errr…. This is not particularly in my favor… at least for a very long time.
Wait, $50,816 is “a decent used car”? I’d say it’s for a very decent new car… that’s how much I’m saving in the next decade.
Tfw the “premium” price is only half the cost of your machine alone.
