1 Latte = three to five bucks worth. The nominal power for the version with an ethernet port is 3.5W. Seattle City Light charges $0.11/kWH after a discounted block. There are 8766 hours in a year, so we can expect to use 30.681kW per year.
This results in an annual cost of operation around $3.37 for the RPi model B. It's a nifty little machine.
