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?

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

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

Best espresso machines to buy in 2026? [$500]
Breville barista express often goes on sale for $500. It’s an all-in-1 that still makes great espresso. Or get the bambino and a good grinder

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

Deinfluence me: Espresso Machine
Lets look at the cons based on my exp with a Breville Barista Express. ● mahal ung mga filter tablets. 1k ata per pack/ 6 pieces. ● aside sa matagal ung final product, you have to clean it every time you use it.

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

Deinfluence me - Espresso machine
A daily coffee will pay for a Breville Barista Express in about 6 months. You’ll need to learn about how to make espresso based drinks such as dialling in the grinder and steaming milk. Risks include buying expensive beans and more coffee equipment.
