    to be fair a setup that can make espresso drinks in the same quality league as coffee shops will cost in the range of 1000-3000€ but if you drink one cup per day then you can save that amount in a year by making coffee at home

    If you can afford a 1-3K espresso setup you probably don't think about saving money on coffee

    Bambino is 600, if you do the math it pays itself off in like two or three months of owning one vs going to a coffee shop.

    Bambino won't pull the same shots that a great independent coffee shop's equipment will.

    It is if you learn how to set the temp settings and use the right bean, grind size and milk. A decent cup of coffee is the sum of parts. And if the customer who does all this is just as satisfied, that’s all that matters.

    That's just not correct. Yes, a drink is the sum of the parts, but if all 4 parts are 9.9/10, and your Bambino can't get to 9.9/10 level, the drink will come out inferior.

    Although I do agree with your last statement, the Bambino cannot pull a shot like a high-grade industrial machine can.

    I'm going out on a limb and argue that a great cup of coffee can probably be made with some rather simple and cheap lab equipment.

    Absolutely, all I'm saying is that you cannot pull the same shot with a Breville as with an industrial grade Espresso machine like great independent shops use.

    like great independent shops use.

    🤣 lol this totally doesn’t sound like a bitter barista taking this personally. I’m gonna say yeah, in fact I can pull a better shot than any independent shop I’ve been to in years with my ‘inferior’ bambino. In fact I’ve done a great cup of coffee comparable even just using an aero press and a hand held foamer.

    So Go cry about it some more. sips my home made coffee

    Thanks, this made my coffee taste so much better.

    i'd say with cheap-ish equipment you can get like 95-98% close to the quality that a 2k+ machine can do, but 95% of cafes at least here dont care enough to put so much effort into the coffee that the machine matters so i can get best coffee possible at home unless im willing to travel for an hour to a place that sells better coffee than i can make for 5€ more

    And so easy just grow your own beans on your acres of land, toil it, roast those beans and voila. Same with brewing your own beer, grow your hops…etc. or wine, grow your own grapes…

    You could say that about any food really.

    But if you say that oh, the frazzled parents and people who live in mere apartments without land to grow this stuff or people with two jobs and can’t pick their own farm land will come down on you so hard. So spoilt.
