One 12oz bag? Wow, that's efficient. Maybe that'll help me justify forking over the initial cost for a decent espresso machine.
To be fair, it's only me drinking it and I typically make it only during work days. But yeah it's pretty nice to have. I've been getting syrups to flavour the lattes which makes it even better.
Edit: The bags I get are about 1kg which is about 32oz.
Just had this conversation with my partner who wanted to get a Nespresso (no idea why). I also have an espresso machine and have 2 large coffees a day, a 1kg bag of beans is ยฃ10 ( $13) and lasts over a month. Espresso machine and a grinder is the most eco and pocket friendly way.
That's solid. I figured I'd need a new setup to make the most of it - doubt my cuisinart burr grinder would be able to pull a really mean americano let alone a late. I'll keep that in mind for the next few huge Chemex filters I toss. Thanks!
Try out a Moka pot first if you want to save on money. The espresso is quite good for the price $5 vs $500
Great advice!
