im having trouble justifying the purchase a reasonable home espresso setup (~$2.5-3k) as opposed to just buying amazing quality shots from any of 3 local quality cafes im a regular at (top quality beans and baristas, pulled thru marzocco or synesso etc)
for just the purhase price (not including running costs) with this money i can buy:
two shots per day, every day, for a year and a half.
down to one shot a day and thats 3 years.
add in the associated costs of running a home setup for this time (repairs maintenance, cost of goods, wasteage etc) and who knows? point being its possibly (probably?) cheaper to just buy espresso shots than make them at home.
i get the joy of making my own coffee at the moment on my weekend job with commercial equipment.
so, aside from the beautiful fulfilling joy of creating something yourself in your own home for yourself and/or loved ones...
why do you make coffee at home?
and now that you are a home barista and are likely capable of regular god shots on your home setup:
do you still visit cafes?
why?
