For what its worth, our press-to-order pricing (for a 12oz cup) is $2 conventional blends, $2.50 for organic and the Guat, maybe $4 for the reserve. This is for a single cup, pressed to order and given in a mug or go cup. Haven't sold many though, so not sure how well-received this pricing actually is.

We were inspired by the approach that Intelly took with their clover-made cup. I still think they are a good model, even if you are talking about aeropress, french press, or melitta instead of Clover.

Cool. Thanks Brady. That's good information. I really like the idea of being able to brew any coffee we have. I am drinking our Guat I made for Pete, and it's really good.

I have not had the opportunity to run a cost analysis (previous owners left the database and UI in a mess), but the customer response to AeroPress'd coffee has been positive. We do not have a drip system, which is something I am studying up on. We are selling the AeroPress'd coffee as Americano's: 1.75, 2.25, 2.75...we add 50 cents for our local premium single origin...right now it is a fast way for us to provide our customers with a premium product over a brewed cup, giving them a little show for their buck...it's a quick, quality cup and customers appreciate that added labor of love...
