are coffee pods dead/fad over?

When I can spend a comparable amount of money on a Breville Barista Express which will work with whatever beans I choose and produce a better result, why would I get a coffee pod machine and lock myself into buying expensive pods?

These are the only new businesses I ever see these days

And most of them are either bad coffee, crammed full of sugar, or both. Actually good coffee shops are getting hard to find. Edit: anyone that wants decent coffee at home the breville barista express is a good entry into espresso drinks. Can be had on sale for around $500. Mine is going on 6 years n

Purchases where spending more actually saved you money?

A good espresso machine. We bought a Breville Barista Express about 10 years ago. At the time I thought this was a crazy amount of money to spend, but my husband makes both of us an espresso drink almost everyday. The machine is still going strong and I think about how much money that has saved us c

There goes my backpay...

As an officer and understanding this is a joke but not being able to let it slide… that’s too expensive for a Breville. The barista express is all you need and the touch screen/automation aspects actually make the machine worse. No high end machines are automatic. At work we have a $5k Jura automati

Did I missed something? Premium pricing ? $9 Coffee? Starbucks ?

just to put it into perspective, it cost 15 bucks for a pound of coffee, which can give- probably 10+ latte's per bag. A espresso machine, a decent one, cost on average of 5 to 6 hundred. Include water (preferably distilled because it doesn't damage the machine). I had my breville barista express fo

anyone else feel like Bay Area rent is just a subscription fee for nice weather at this point

I got a Breville Barista Express over a year ago and it has paid for itself twice over; 3-4x over if I was getting a $7 coffee daily. Plus, the cortados I make for myself, and the lattes I make for my wife, are better than most of the ones we’re getting out and about. Bonus was that I got it on sale

Beginner to the espresso world! Started with the Ninja Luxe Cafe from Costco and I’m amazed by the quality improvement in coffee ! Bye bye Starbucks !

Welcome! This seems like a great starting point (I started with a Breville Barista Express Impress), similar to me when I started. If you were a daily Starbucks person like me, you’ll see the new machine pay for itself in no time. Periodically I’ll do a new cost assessment, and it’s still 1/5 the pr

What’s with the Fellow ES1 Influencer obsession?

As an owner who upgraded to the fellow from a Breville machine (barista express)- I cannot understand how Breville owners harp on the Fellow’s plastic so much. The important components in the fellow (the group head, the port a filter basket) are noticeably solid metal- and also 100% metal, which can
