[–] robador51@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago (1 child) Even on a shoestring budget you can get far. My equipment: 10 euro 'grinder' 30 euro moka pot (bialetti) Decent beans (segafredo, lavazza) about 10 euro per kilo (on offer), lasts my family about a month. I like late macchiato, which in my case is about 2 thirds milk heated in the micro, 1 third coffee. I know the above will horrify real coffee enthusiasts, but I can tell you it's a lot better than starbucks, and a lot cheaper too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 1 point 3 months ago I'd throw a couple more bucks at the grinder, but I've had moka pot coffee and it's surprisingly good. Granted I'm only a low-level coffee snob but I've always been of the opinion do what works for you and screw the haters. And while someone might make fun of your setup, from where I sit you are getting a cup of coffee you like better than Starbucks for less than €1 per cup. Sounds like a win to me! permalink fedilink source parent
