A bag of specialty coffee may seem expensive. But a bag lasts longer than you think. Here you can work out how many cups you’ll get from it and how much each cup costs.
How many cups are in a bag?
A bag of coffee beans usually weighs 250 grams. For a cup of filter coffee, you use about 16 grams. Do the math: 250 grams divided by 16 grams is about 15 cups.
How much does a cup cost?
Divide the price of the bag by 15. That way, you can see at a glance how much a cup costs.
| Bag price | Price per cup |
|---|---|
| €12 | about €0.80 |
| €15 | about €1.00 |
| €18 | about €1.20 |
| €20 | about €1.30 |

How do you know you're using 16 grams?
The easiest way is to use a kitchen scale. That way, you can be sure you're not using too much or too little. Prefer a stronger or weaker brew? Then the number of cups you get from a bag changes too.
