THE BREW BENCH / CHOOSE

Price the whole coffee routine.

Build a compatible household setup, account for required accessories and owned equipment, and calculate delivered and first-year costs.

Start with your routine. Add costs and fit checks when you need them. An empty price stays unknown.

Equipment you own & local prices

Blank overrides use a dated regional listing, if available. Ownership means zero new purchase cost; it does not override compatibility.

Required accessories & delivery

Enter 0 for an appropriate owned or included item. Only accessories required by this path are active. A premium scale, gooseneck or separate server is not automatically required.

Monthly coffee & running costs

Use actual household consumption and delivered prices. A blank category keeps the first-year total incomplete; 0 confirms no expense.

Calculate coffee purchases from dose and bag price

Space & batch checks

Blank or 0 means no constraint. Appliance widths are added side by side; depth/height use the larger unit. Leave operating clearance.

A complete plan before a purchase

Seven paths cover family batches, a solo pour-over, milk-drink beginners, control-seeking espresso, a small counter, travel and minimal cleanup. They are starting combinations, not a comprehensive catalogue or guarantee of taste. The chosen model is shown before you calculate. The individual gear finder compares alternatives.

Prices are dated listing snapshots or your local quotes. No currency conversion or presumed free shipping hides a missing cost. A confirmed total does not confirm physical clearance, basket fit, power, water approval or local warranty. Check those decisions in the output. Current maker facts and attributed historical tests serve different purposes.

Compare the machine workflow and test evidence, batch and manual alternatives, accessory compatibility and model-specific care. Save the resulting plan by download or print, including its assumptions and unresolved facts.
