Job this solves

Calculate real cost per cup including beans, waste, and optional machine amortization.

Defaults are starting points, not recommendations. Outputs inherit your inputs.

What counts as waste?

Puck, chaff, over-dosing, and the first shot you dump while dialing. Typical 5–12% for espresso.

How many years should I amortize the machine?

Use 3–5 realistic years. If you plan to upgrade sooner, lower the number.
