And I was still going to cafes for cappuccino because the cafes made better cappuccino. During the Covid lockdown, I thought that maybe I could make a cappuccino at home that was as good as a cafe. I bought a Breville machine, a Sette 270 grinder, and a scale, and watched some YouTube videos.
Now I make my wife a delicious cappuccino every morning, first thing. And they are as good as the very best cafes.
Nespresso coffee can be months old and they only have 5-7 grams of coffee. A standard espresso double shot is 17 grams. I buy premium, freshly-roasted beans for about $15, which is 20 double shots of espresso… or 75 cents a shot. The other thing is that my real espresso maker steams the milk; with the Nespresso, it "froths" the milk, which is nice but not as good.
So is it a Slickdeal to pay $100 for a coffee maker that makes weak espresso at $2.50 or more per drink, when you can spend about $600 and get cafe quality for 75 cents per drink?

This makes a dangerous gift for someone because it's the gift that keeps on taking if the person doesn't know how expensive the pods are 😂

My daughter wanted a coffee maker (not espresso), so I bought her a Chemex, 100 filters, and an electric kettle which heats water to the correct just-under-boiling temperature for coffee. It makes absolutely delicious coffee for far less money than a Nespresso.
These machines look cute and convenient, but their coffee just isn't very good at all. My friends come over for my cappuccino and they love it. Honestly, with a little effort, you can make the best espresso drinks in town. It's only beans, water and milk, after all.
