coffee benefit for you

What is cheaper? Drinking coffee with coffee cups, coffee pads or with fresh coffee in a fully automatic bean machine?

Coffee cups

Think of Nespresso when it comes to coffee cups. In this concept, ground coffee with a long shelf life is placed in an aluminium capsule (coffee cup). You make your coffee with that. The taste is good, but it can be expensive.

Automatic bean machine

With the fully automatic bean machine, you can make delicious fresh coffee. When you make coffee, the beans are first ground, and a cup of coffee is automatically brewed from the freshly ground coffee. This is often relatively inexpensive to use.

ESE Pads

Coffee from ESE pads comes close to the taste of fresh coffee. ESE pads are easy to use. These pads resemble Senseo pads but are of much higher quality because each pad is sealed airtight. The pads are not cheap, but they are tasty.

The story behind the coffee calculator

More than 10 Years Ago, We Ordered Our Coffee Cups from Nespresso
It was October, and we saw that we had already spent €350 on coffee that year. We thought that was a lot. On “the back of a beer mat,” we calculated that it would be much cheaper for us to switch to fresh coffee and invest in a slightly more expensive coffee machine. We’ve been doing that for 10 years now, and to our complete satisfaction, we’ve saved over €1,000! We’d love to share this insight with you through the Coffee Calculator.

coffee with fresh beans

The Purchase of Most Automatic Bean Machines is More Expensive: Basic machines start at around €350, but prices can go up to over €1,000. That may seem expensive, but grinding fresh beans is much cheaper than buying Nespresso coffee cups or ESE pads. For those who drink more than one cup a day, it quickly becomes an economical choice. Of course, you can also buy very expensive coffee beans, but you shouldn’t compare apples with oranges. If you buy expensive coffee beans, you should also compare them with the more expensive Nespresso coffee cups or ESE pads.
