Time to get into the only "drink at home" principle. I have to admit, we have several friends and locals who often visit us, seemingly primarily for our coffee. Got a visitor coming tomorrow, they’ll get a taste of our new Deadly Sin blend. Won’t say anything, just ask about how they like our "new" coffee.

Haha well I don't go to cafes because they do coffee better than I do. I also don't go to cafes because they do better food than I do.

Sounds a bit like you're running a cafe yourself

Crickey, that’s an interesting response. I guess I should ask, why do you go there then?

I was ready to take on a cafe about 10 years back, but the business owners still wanted full control of how the cafe was run, so my answer was no.

The same reason I go to the pub instead of drinking at home! Because that's where everyone else is drinking 😆

I guess for a cafe there's also the benefit of not having to cook. I don't often find anything in a cafe that I couldn't make better myself. And by better I mean more in line with my own tastes, which aren't necessarily objectively better.

I fully understand the social aspects of your comments. That said, your coffee made from your own machine will be a bit more personal and need to be as best as possible aligned to your personal taste.

For sure! Just as soon as I get better at it 😅
