About this tool
Choose the drink you want, how many cups you make a day, your budget and how much time you will spend. The planner suggests how to divide the money (the grinder is where many people should spend more), what to look for in each item, the cost per cup at home and how long the setup takes to pay for itself compared with buying coffee out.

Frequently asked questions
Why spend so much on the grinder?
Consistent, fresh grinding changes flavour more than the brewer itself. A good grinder with an average brewer beats the reverse.
Are capsule machines cheaper?
The machine is cheaper, but the capsules usually cost more per cup than freshly ground beans, so the costs reverse over a year.
Is the Coffee Setup Budget Planner free?
Yes. Coffee Setup Budget Planner is completely free with no sign-up, limits or watermarks.
Is my data private when I use the Coffee Setup Budget Planner?
Yes. It runs in your browser, so your input is not uploaded to our servers.
