Came here to say this. Wasn’t as often but I’d get specialty coffee for $8-$10 a couple times a week. I bought a off brand espresso machine for $100 that is running to this day. If I include various accessories I’ve probably spent around $200. I did wind up getting a work bonus and splurging on a $400 Eureka grinder so I can have freshly ground.
Last I did the math at most I spend around $1.00 a cup, for a savings of around $8. I’ve made at least a couple hundred coffees it has definitely paid for itself and then some.

Mine takes a minute or so? I single-dose grind my espresso so by the time my portafilter is ready the machine is ready.
