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.

Keurig made coffee machines impossible to clean properly

Eh, we've had a Breville Barista Express for years and no issues with it. We've even lugged it back and forth for family events and parties with no issues.

Love the different views this topic will generate :) Barista Express (and most of the all-in-one Breville's) are good in the longish term. Parts fail and these machines have limited repairability. I have a refurb, and this is my second personal Breville machine, and 4th of their's I've bought/used o

Waking up sober is my single favorite reason not to drink.

I have zero regrets about my breville barista barista express. I've had it about 7 years and use it multiple times a day. It wasn't cheap but definitely got me into pouring guilt free shots lol

Breville Barista Express, stopped going out for coffee and the Breville is top notch and makes a mean cup of coffee.

Trouble brewing for Starbucks CEO who calls $9 coffee an ‘experience’

Save your money. Buy a Breville Barista Express. Justify it by saying you're saving money vs buying $9 coffee. End up drinking multiple cups of espresso every day for the next 5+ years, at least.
