Coffee Capsule Cost per Capsule Calculator
Quick answer: Cost per capsule = coffee price per kg × grams per capsule + capsule, lid and filter + box + overheads ÷ capsules sold. Kenyan coffee brands add value by selling roasted coffee in capsules instead of bulk beans; the machine fills, tamps and seals capsules automatically.
