I've got a £1000 espresso machine and that the cheap one. We also have all the pour over shite - scales, grinder, gooseneck kettle, Hario... It adds up quickly.
And when you invite a bunch people over and tell them yeah we're into coffee and they ask you for coffee and you're like... Ok I am incapable of making coffee for more than 2 people in under 15 minutes, I need to pull out the senseo pad machine.
Absolutely.. someone at work was like, grab a coffee, see you in 5. Dude, it takes at least 15 minutes to make a coffee in this house.
We have a ROK and my husband once did 3 espressos for guests in a row, it did break his soul a little bit.
Thank you xD
You know what the most painful part is? When your guests try the coffee and are like "aaah wow yeah that's... nice! It's really, uhm, intense" because they are so used to their crap coffee and don't get the flowery berry fresh aroma of specialty coffee and you're just smiling and dying inside. I mean I would have hated this kind of coffee 10 years ago myself so I get it but man...
This is why I still have a senseo pad machine. I'm not wasting my time, energy and coffee to make fancy hand filter coffee or manual espressos for people who really don't care (unless they ask for it, in that case, waste away).
May your kitchen never run out of space for more equipment my friend.
