Coffee Costs & Profit Calculator
Blended drinks carry a higher ingredient cost but a higher price point — they are usually the most profitable line on a Philippine café menu. Frappe base, flavor powder and toppings are now included in the cost below; make sure your blender can handle the volume you are assuming.
Your Coffee Setup
How will you run your coffee operation?
Your Market Reality
These three numbers decide the business case. Be honest with them — the tool is only as good as the volume you can actually sell.
Your Equipment Investment
Espresso machines from the Kreme City catalog (prices as of August 2026). Every espresso bar also needs a grinder — a good grinder matters more than an expensive machine.
Compare all espresso machines, grinders and blenders
Fine-Tune Your Cup Recipe & Costs
Every ingredient is costed from a real TOP Creamery pack price divided by its pack size. Change the drink type first, then adjust only what differs in your recipe.

A sound decision does not rely on the best case. Below, the same cup economics at three sales levels — start the conversation with the conservative case.
| Scenario | Cups / Day | Operating Profit / Month | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative — slow start | |||
| Expected — your inputs | |||
| Strong — peak season |
| Operating break-even | |
| Daily volume for 12-month capital recovery | |
| Modeled 12-month operating surplus after entered capital |
The key question is not whether the projected profit looks attractive — it is whether your location can realistically serve the recovery volume every operating day.
- The most trusted partner of TOP Creamery. Espresso machines, grinders, roasted beans, syrups, sauces, frappe bases, powders and packaging — one accountable partner instead of six suppliers.
- Beans roasted for milk drinks. Chain Grade blends are built to cut through milk at café volume; Premium single origins carry a black-coffee menu. Both lines come from the same supply chain your quotation will reference.
- Barista training that protects the investment. Coffee 101 at the TOP Creamery Kitchen Studio in Las Piñas, with trainers certified by the SCA and international beverage institutions — and complimentary on machine or package purchases of ₱20,000 and above.
- A proposal you can verify. Every number here comes from your own inputs and published Kreme City prices — bring it to Kreme City and we will reconcile it into a written quotation.
Visit kremecity.com.ph or message the Kreme City business team through our official pages — bring this proposal and we will prepare machine availability, a reconciled written quotation, delivery schedule, and training dates within one working day.
This proposal is a feasibility estimate generated from the Kreme City Coffee Costs & Profit Calculator using your inputs and Kreme City prices on the date above. It excludes income tax; the 3% percentage tax on gross receipts (or 12% VAT once annual sales exceed the ₱3,000,000 registration threshold); business permits and licences; financing interest; depreciation; delivery and installation unless entered in capital; downtime; and owner compensation. It assumes flat demand for 12 months with no ramp-up or seasonality. It is not a guarantee of earnings, a valuation, a tax computation, or a substitute for a written quotation. By downloading this proposal you consented to follow-up contact from the Kreme City business team, whose service is enhanced by AI-assisted tools. Figures in Philippine pesos.
How this calculator works
Every ingredient is costed from a real TOP Creamery pack price divided by its pack size, so the cost per cup reflects what you would actually pay: beans by grams per dose, milk by millilitres, syrups by the 750 ml bottle, frappe base and sauces by the kilo, and cups and lids by the piece. A waste allowance covers dialing in shots, remakes and spillage. The result is framed as an estimated monthly operating profit — before tax, financing and depreciation — and paired with the two thresholds that actually decide the investment: the cups per day needed to cover fixed costs, and the cups per day needed to recover your capital within twelve months.
