Coffee pricing and the value in home brewed coffee

 Global Coffee Price Increase & How We’re Keeping Fresh Roasted Coffee Affordable

In recent months, global coffee prices have seen a significant increase. Factors like inflation, weather conditions, supply chain disruptions, and growing demand for high-quality coffee beans have all contributed to this rise. While these changes are out of our control, we understand how important it is for you to enjoy great coffee without breaking the bank.

At Wollongong coffee we're committed to offering fresh roasted coffee at affordable prices for our customers. Despite the increase in coffee prices worldwide, we're doing everything we can to keep costs down by offering package deals. This means you can still enjoy the rich, flavourful coffee you love at the best value.

Scale of Quantity Keeps Costs Low

We’ve worked hard to source quality beans and provide packages that fit a range of needs and budgets. The larger the quantity, the more we can scale production and keep the price low for you. So whether you're a regular coffee drinker or you want to stock up for your office or family, you’ll get the best value when you buy in bulk.

Understanding Coffee Quantities and Cost-Effectiveness for Home Brewing vs. Café Prices

When making fresh brewed coffee at home, the amount of coffee used will determine the amount of cups/kg. Generally, a standard espresso shot requires between 7g and 12g of coffee (single shot), while a double shot uses around 14g to 20g. The amount of coffee used can vary depending on personal preference and brew strength.

Comparing to Café Prices

The average price of a standard coffee at a café in Australia typically ranges from $4 to $6 per cup, depending on the size and location. Some specialty cafes charge even higher.

If you drink just one café coffee per day, you could be spending over $1,800 per year. In contrast, buying high-quality coffee beans and brewing at home could cost as little as $250 to $350 per year, depending on your consumption. This all adds up to save you over $1000 per year! 

Cost per Cup at Home

Based on coffee package deals ranging from $38.33 to $46 per kilogram, here’s an estimated cost per cup depending on the amount of coffee used:

• 7g (light espresso/small cup) → $0.27 to $0.32 per cup
• 9g (standard espresso) → $0.35 to $0.41 per cup
• 12g (stronger brew/long black) → $0.46 to $0.55 per cup
• 14g (double shot strong brew) → $0.54 to $0.64 per cup
• 18g (double shot espresso/latte/cappuccino) → $0.69 to $0.83 per cup
• 20g (strong double shot/large cup) → $0.77 to $0.92 per cup
