How much can I save by changing capsules for coffee beans?

We live in difficult times, in which every euro or cent counts. And more so, if it involves consuming a good cup of coffee. However, there are those who allow themselves to be influenced by advertising strategies and choose to consume the unsustainable and very expensive ones. coffee capsules. Fortunately, nothing is lost, since the solution lies in coffee beans. A product that, in addition to being natural, helps us save our money.

Although it is more than proven how harmful coffee pods are for the environment, there are those who turn a deaf ear and continue defending their consumption. They even claim that they are cheaper than the same coffee beans.

But what they don't know is that a premium brand capsule usually doesn't fall below the 0.40 and 0.50 euro cents. While with grains Incapto Coffee, we can lower this cost per cup by up to half. This without overlooking the fact that tasting freshly ground coffee means living a natural and sustainable experience.

Perhaps you think that calculating how much an active consumer loses from coffee capsules per month and how much we manage to save by purchasing beans is quite a challenge. But, in Incapto Coffee, we have an incredible tool that, if you have not yet switched to natural, good and sustainable, will give you that little push that you need so much. Well, it's about our own savings calculator. Below we will explain how it works and how effective it is.

Why are capsules more expensive?

In addition to being a highly polluting product, coffee capsules are twice as expensive as beans. If we do the math, single-dose consumers could spend between 50 and 70 euros, in approximately 140 capsules, which is equivalent to almost one kg of coffee beans. While the kilo of coffee beans, in Incapto Coffee can cost between €23.95 or €29.95 and the best of all is that they are specialty beans, with more than 80 points according to the protocols of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).

We also have coffees from €17.95 per kilo, such as Blend white label Although it is not a specialty because it has 77 points, it is capable of providing an incredibly delicious drink. In our catalog we have another coffee whose price is €19.95 (quite cheap for a specialty) it is the blend black label, ideal for those who prefer a cup of medium acidity, velvety body and dark chocolate base.

If you are a loyal consumer of capsules, and you are still not convinced, allow us to take out the calculator again. As we pointed out above, a cup made of capsules costs between €0.40 and €0.50.

But if we look closely, a cup with freshly ground coffee beans from Incapto Coffee, for example, from our Colombian coffee Risaralda El Vergel It costs €0.17. If you like a cup flavored with caramel, toffee, sweet flower and notes of red apple, like ours Honduras coffee Marcala Magnolia, costs €0.20. The numbers don't lie, grains, in addition to providing a quality drink with endless properties, are also cheaper and will allow us to save.

How many cups does coffee beans provide?

We already know that enjoying a cup of freshly ground coffee is one of the great pleasures in this life (and we will not tire of confirming it). But, have you ever thought about how many cups you can enjoy with one kg of coffee beans.

We put it this way, if you use a kilo of any of our specialties such as, for example, coffees from Peru Jaén Cajamarca or the Decaffeinated Swiss Water Brazil They will provide a total of 140 cups. But if you only have 500 grams of any of these, the numbers are still good, since you can make 70 cups. In the case of capsules, the grams will always vary depending on the brand, but they range between 5 and 8 grams per cup. Which makes them unfeasible for the finances of many, since you pay more for so little.

Switch to whole bean coffee!

At some point have you asked yourself: How can I help care for the planet? OR How can I be a more responsible consumer? The answers may be right in front of you and you don't realize it yet. The key is to look for sustainable, natural products with which we can contribute to small communities of coffee growers.

Let us be a little more direct. Putting aside coffee capsules may be a tough decision at first. This may be because you have already become accustomed to its practicality and its costs disguised as “economical”. But if you think about future generations and want to live a unique and irreplaceable coffee experience, coffee beans have these and many more characteristics. This without overlooking the fact that it is three times cheaper than single doses.

As experts on the subject, we do not hesitate to promote the consumption of grains, because this is the only way to enjoy their organoleptic properties (aroma, balance, texture, flavor, among others). This without overlooking the incredible caramel-colored cream that adorns our drink.

In summary, coffee beans, unlike capsules, are not harmful to the environment, and allow us to save at the same time.

Step 2

Step 3

In the other box the recovery of the investment will appear, that is, the period of time you need to amortize the purchase of your coffee maker. As incredible as it may seem, from there you will confirm that switching to grain means saving.
