    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.

        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
