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

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.

Purchases where spending more actually saved you money?

A good espresso machine. We bought a Breville Barista Express about 10 years ago.

There goes my backpay...

Your essential purchases for surviving residency?

Espresso machine. Recommend Breville Barista Express. Espresso shot on the way out the door is clutch in the morning (or pre night shift) and faster than making/drinking a regular coffee imo. A little pricey but pays for itself if you otherwise buy coffee/espresso drinks regularly and also fun to ex

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
