Espresso.
It started with a second hand cheap machine from my grandmother as a gift for Christmas.
Then I bought a delonghi grinder for £50 and a used delonghi dedica for £60.
Then I upgraded the grinder to a baratza sette for £300.
Then I upgraded the espresso machine to a Lelit Bianca for £2000
Then I bought an EG-1 grinder for £3000
Now I'm looking to upgrade my machine soon.
Also I bought acaia scales and a puqpress and various coffee related things along the way, as well as spending essentially £10 a week on beans
We’ll this is bad news. I’m looking to start this journey but was hoping to save the $4-5 per cappuccino.
The initial investment for espresso is pretty steep, but I think it's well worth it. There's something so satisfying about making your own coffee drinks yourself. And if you think about it, you'll probably drink coffee for the rest of your life, so you'll end up breaking even eventually.
You are right, I’ll break even eventually :)
