The cost per cup depends on four things: machine, beans, milk and service. Here's how they fit together — and how to work out a rough figure for your own office.
The fixed cost regardless of consumption — covers machine, installation, spare parts and ongoing maintenance.
Scales with number of cups. Quality and roast type affect the price per kilo, and therefore per cup.
Milk drinks cost more per cup than black coffee. Plant-based alternatives are often somewhat higher.
More cups spread the fixed cost over more units — high traffic gives a lower cost per cup.
The cost per cup breaks down roughly like this: machine rental and service are the biggest fixed cost, beans and milk are variable and scale with consumption. The more cups per day, the smaller the fixed cost share per cup — a high-traffic office often gets a better price per cup than a low-traffic one, despite the same machine.
We'll give you an exact figure per cup once we know your real consumption and which machine fits — that takes a short call.
