[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a game changer. We have the Breville Bambino Plus. It’s $499. My whole family has stopped buying espresso based drinks. We never go Starbucks.

The ones we make at home are better and now free. [b]The machine has paid for itself.[/b]

I have had the Nespresso machine in the past, which is like a Kureg, I don’t recommend it. I thought it was pretty awful. [/quote]

Maybe, I've actually done the math and it costs me a few dollars to make a latte.  Beans are pretty expensive if you get a decent bean.  The ones at the grocery store are OLD, they were roasted months ago, never ever buy ground beans.  The best beans were roasted 1-4 weeks ago.  A bag bought locally (I subscribe to Java Nation espresso beans, they are good) will cost $20 a bag, about.  That's for 12 oz, 18 grams of espresso in a double shot, that's $1.10 for a double shot.  $.45 for milk, so we'll just say $1.50 per grande (no sweetener).  So it takes 120 lattes to equal the cost of the machine.  I drink about 150 lattes a year, so it takes that time.  But if your whole family is using it, it could take just a few months!  Kudos![/quote]
