- 9 fill-in worksheets, 34 print pages
- 2 filled-in examples to copy from
- Online buyer guide with current prices, organised by the sheet that named the product
Replaces the guess at where the grinder budget went, the water test nobody ran before blaming the beans, and the grind setting that gets rediscovered from zero on every new bag.
30-day money-back guarantee. Use it all; if it doesn't help, every dollar back.
Split the budget properly, fit the counter, test the water, then dial in and write down the recipe, so the next bag starts from your own numbers instead of from scratch.

Plus the online buyer guide
Three complete coffee bar builds, beginner through expert, every item priced and linked, plus every product the kit names, kept current on this site. Your kit links straight to it, so the prices you plan with are today's, not the day the PDF was printed.
Who it's for
- Anyone about to buy a first machine and grinder who wants the budget split correctly instead of spent entirely on the machine
- Anyone who owns a machine already and cannot make it repeat a good shot, because the grind, water and dose were never written down
- A household sharing one machine, where an at-a-glance page and a milk recipe sheet mean two people are not relearning the same settings
- Anyone who wants a reusable dial-in log and a descaling schedule that survives past the first bag of beans
Who made this
Built by the CoffeeBarSetup.com team, the people behind the free calculators on this site, from manufacturer specifications, published barista guidance and patterns in verified owner reviews. Researched, not a substitute for a machine's own manual.
30-day money-back guarantee
Use the whole kit. If it doesn't help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need, one to keep by the machine. The logs and the descaling schedule are made to be reprinted every bag and every service.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Does this replace the free calculators on the site?
No, it works with them. A calculator answers one question and forgets it. The kit keeps your own budget split, your own water hardness, your own grind settings and your own descaling dates together on paper, and points at the buyer guide for current prices.
Is this specific to one espresso machine?
No. Every sheet is written around figures you measure yourself: your water, your dose, your yield, your shot time. It works whatever machine and grinder you own or are about to buy.
