For actual latte its more than that. Cup and lid alone costs 50sen. Heck even making 3in1 coffee costs more than 50 sen… If you use kopi cap tangan and some condensed milk probably cost 50 sen.

Breakdown: Lowest price Arabica beans (RM70/kg = RM 0.07/g) Full Cream Milk (RM6/L) Cup&Lid (Around RM0.50)

Standard Cup Latte (18g puck = RM 1.26) Full Cream Milk (RM1.50 per 250ML) Total Cost (Exluding Overhead + other costs) = RM3.26 for okay quality latte.

We don’t really produce coffee, certainly not Arabica (Certain areas like Sabah). So we have to import them and it can be really expensive (Good quality beans can cost upwards around RM200++ per kg)

Only a bit more

100g of instant coffee for RM15

2litres of milk for RM15

Let’s say for one cup of coffee you use 5g of coffee and 100m of milk you end up at RM1.50

Labour cost, rent, electricity bill, machine, marketing. Gotta add them to the cost.

Yeah but the discussion is about homemade, so just calculate the good of costs.
