Questions

What a bowl costs, answered

How do I work out the cost of a bowl of matcha at home?

Divide the price of the tin by its weight in grams to get a cost per gram, then multiply by the dose you actually use, usually 2 g. The calculator does that against your real brew log, so the figure reflects the bowls you drank rather than an assumed dose.

Is making matcha at home cheaper than a cafe?

Almost always, and the calculator shows where the line is: it works out what the same number of bowls would have cost at your local cafe price and how many bowls it takes for the tin to pay for itself.

Can it use the tins I have already added?

Yes. If your cellar has a tin, the cost calculator starts from the price and weight you recorded for the most recent one, and you can type over either figure to model a different tin.
