Job this solves
Spread machine purchase, maintenance, and consumables across the cups you actually brew.
Formula
Total = machine + (maintenance + consumables) × years; per cup = total ÷ (cups/year × years).
Assumptions
Defaults are starting points, not recommendations. Outputs inherit your inputs.
Common questions
What counts as maintenance?
Descaling solution, gasket kits, burr replacements, and professional service you budget for — enter your own annual estimate.
Why use your own cup count?
A machine used twice a week amortizes differently than one pulling two shots daily.
