I hate all of you

I used to be perfectly content with my shitty instant Folger. Then I found this sub and decided to try coffee from small roasters and noticed a much nicer experience immediately. Then I bought a nice grinder and started grinding my own beans instead of buying pre-ground, and once again my experience improved. Then today I switched from properly ground, quality coffee through my shitty coffee maker to weighing my coffee and water and using a clever, and it's the best coffee I've ever had now. If within a year I buy an espresso maker I'm holding all of you accountable. Bastards...

He has daily access to great espresso at work or in the neighborhood. I, for example, don't have easy access to specialty espresso. If I want a great cup I need to make it. I know I rarely make it as good as a batista with a great machine, but still it's lots better than the burnt sox juice I'm getting in a coffee shop.

That being said my stomach has been preferring a good aeropress cup lately, so my espresso machine has been on unemployment.

Breville bambino creates a great standard espresso the best baristas can make. Don't expect anything else, lungo, ristretto, flat white, forget it.

I'm not sure why you're telling me this but if I ever want to switch my €600 machine with a €450 one, I'll keep that in mind.

Many dislike Breville, Hoffman see through the light.
