Barista Express

“The single best investment for people who like coffee with milk. an average latte these days is $5-7. Coffee whole bean is $20-30 a bag of 320g ish (or $1.59 per double shot of 17g) Milk is like…$3 a gallon. You can learn how to pull good shots and get 60% off every coffee you make. $699 pays itself off in a few months. As if you needed math to prove it - but here you go.”

“It sparks joy. Especially espresso too early in the morning to go out for coffee, making my mom a latte when she comes to watch my son, and cappuccinos after dinner for guests. Feels like a super power. This machine was one of the most luxurious & frivolous purchases of my life (though it’s like 30% more expensive now).”
