55 cups in a kilo

55 cups in a kilo

Coffee maths, no calculator required.

We get asked it at the bar every week: how far does a bag actually go? So we ran the numbers.

Start with the dose
A double shot takes generally 18g of ground coffee. A kilo divided by 18g gives you 55 doubles, or a couple fewer while you're dialling in a fresh bag. If you're on plunger or pour over, it's around 15g a cup, which stretches a kilo to about 66.

What each cup costs you
All prices are for Heavy Weight at 18g a double.

How you buy it Per kilo Per cup
250g bags $68 $1.22
1kg bag $60 $1.08
Founders 100 $48 $0.86
Founders 100 + your $10 monthly gift card $38 $0.68


Now do it for a year
Take two coffees a day, every day. That's about 13kg of Heavy Weight a year.

  • On 250g bags it costs around $890.
  • On 1kg bags it costs around $790.
  • On Founders 100 it costs around $630, and you get $120 back in gift cards to spend with us.

That's roughly $380 a year back in your pocket. Same coffee, delivered to your door on a Friday. Convinence and saving money at the same time? SB is always in your corner. (shoutout Cornerstone!)

So what is Founders 100?

  • 20% off every Heavy Weight order, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. It's not an intro rate.
  • A $10 gift card every month, to spend at our store closest to your shipping postcode.
  • Hand-delivered every Friday across 2233 and 2234.
  • Surprise perks throughout the year: free bags, member-only drops, and more.
