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

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

well if you got savings but low income you can afford one time costs such as that. i got a 1k espresso setup mainly so i dont have to spend 20-40% of my disposable income on coffee from cafes

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.

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Wow, you need to visit better shops.

I’m happy with my coffee. Deal with it. sip MMMMMMMMMYUMMM.
