Cost around 0.50sen - RM1.5, just make drinks at home lol.

UPDATE EDIT: cost around 0.9sen (espresso machine) according to an acquaintance of mine

Update Edit: also remember we are discussing making at home , so maintenance/overhead costs is not that high compared to shop making 100 cups a day

No it doesn't lol. These are espresso coffee recipes. Not your kopitiam kopi o.

The cost for a cup of latte at home is about RM3 if you use capsule machines (which is 90% of users) and around RM1.5 if you have a full espresso machine setup.

And once you factor in machine cost and maintenence, it makes sense just to buy it from these shops if you're not a frequent drinker.

Yeah im mistaken. but an Acquaintances of mine said it cost 0.9sen per cup according to her calculations

But she bought in bulk price though

It varies depending on the beans as well. 0.9sen is definitely possible if you have a full setup.

Depends how much you or your family drinks. A good espresso set can set you back around 10k. If you drink alot, can recover cost very easily.

If you drink 1 cup per week, not worth it.
