Metric Nespresso Vertuo Pop Bean-to-Cup Espresso Instant Coffee Setup Coffee Shop Purchase price £79 £349 £20 £0 Annual running cost £172 £75 £37 £913 Ownership cost £595 £573 £130 £2,738 Cost per use £0.54 £0.52 £0.12 £2.50 Value note Convenient, but pod cost dominates the three-year total. Higher upfront cost, much lower cost per cup for regular drinkers. Lowest running cost, but it solves a different job than espresso. No equipment cost, but daily purchases compound quickly.
