So how much does that increase work out per cup? About 3¢.
The $4.39 12oz latte from the article requires 17g of ground coffee per double shot of espresso. Coffee loses 17% of its weight when roasted, so one pound of coffee (454g) after roasting (377g) makes 22 double shots of espresso. So their cost of coffee has gone up less than 3¢ per cup, from $0.086 at $1.90 per pound to $0.113 at $2.49 per pound.
