common questions

What should a coffee cost to make?

As a working guide, aim for 25% or less of the price excluding GST; 25 to 30% is worth watching; over 30% is high. This covers coffee, milk, cup and lid, not labour or rent.

How much milk is in each cup size?

The starting amounts are 180ml for 6oz, 300ml for 8oz, 360ml for 12oz and 480ml for 16oz. Change them to match your actual pour.

Why include milk waste?

Milk left in the jug, spills and remakes still cost money. The 10% allowance covers that. Turn it off if your milk amounts already include waste.
