Thats just poor personal finance then. Paying 3$ a couple times a week, so let's say 4 times, runs you up at 12$ a week. So within 13 weeks you'd have the money to buy a machine.

couple

4 times

couple

I think we might have different definitions of that word. So it really should be 26 weeks, which we can clarify is 6 months.

So 6 months of saving for a treat a couple times a week? That doesn't sound worth it to most people

Exactly, thank you. It takes so long just to break even with even the cheapest home espresso equipment, plus you then have to learn to use and maintain said equipment - for some people, the convenience of having a barista fix you a better cup of coffee than you could make yourself at home is worth the $3.

An aeropress is 40$, so it's even cheaper. 4 weeks or so then based on that math!
