How many of each do you buy? Toggle per day or per week, and tap Edit prices to override the Coffee shop prices.

2 Add the tip

Tipping is one of the most overlooked costs of buying out — those checkout screens add 15–25% to every order. It applies only to what you buy out.

3 Fine-tune upkeep

Keeping a machine healthy costs a little every month. These are typical numbers — change any of them to what you actually pay.

Total ongoing upkeep $0/mo

Counted against your at-home cost for the whole projection.
