I don’t own the $10000 marzocco espresso machine that produces consistent heat and pressure to brew espresso correctly and steam milk so it froths without scorching, nor do I have years of experience to do that correctly, and I’d rather meet friends out than keeping my home perfectly clean so guests can come over any time.
Always enjoy yourself, but check out the bambino plus. It pulls beutiful shots with lovely crema and has a simple and excellent auto frother, all for $4-500.
I appreciate the recommendation but I don’t have $400 to spend on an espresso machine either 😅
I'm over here with my 25€ cast iron teapot and 60€ kettle wondering if coffee drinkers are alright
When I make it at home I use a US$25 pour-over pot and a US$30 electric kettle.
You really don't need all that shit. An Aeropress, a french press, and/or chemex-style pour over all goes for <$50 each and isn't particularly difficult to learn how to use. Need a kettle and a good grinder. Grinder is the only thing worth spending money on, but for this setup, even a $200 grinder is probably overkill. You just don't want the bottom of the barrel blade grinders.
I have a friend who went the aeropress route and he confirms there is a difference between that and the professionally made coffee we get at the coffee shop we both go to. Which is where we met, not incidentally—cheap at-home “espresso” still doesn’t answer the part about going to a public place where you can meet other people at random.
