Purchases where spending more actually saved you money?

A good espresso machine. We bought a Breville Barista Express about 10 years ago. At the time I thought this was a crazy amount of money to spend, but my husband makes both of us an espresso drink almost everyday. The machine is still going strong and I think about how much money that has saved us c

Did I missed something? Premium pricing ? $9 Coffee? Starbucks ?

just to put it into perspective, it cost 15 bucks for a pound of coffee, which can give- probably 10+ latte's per bag. A espresso machine, a decent one, cost on average of 5 to 6 hundred. Include water (preferably distilled because it doesn't damage the machine). I had my breville barista express fo

Need Help Choosing Coffee Machine☕️☕️

Love the different views this topic will generate :) Barista Express (and most of the all-in-one Breville's) are good in the longish term. Parts fail and these machines have limited repairability. I have a refurb, and this is my second personal Breville machine, and 4th of their's I've bought/used o

Waking up sober is my single favorite reason not to drink.

I have zero regrets about my breville barista barista express. I've had it about 7 years and use it multiple times a day. It wasn't cheap but definitely got me into pouring guilt free shots lol

Things I waited embarrassingly long to buy that quietly fixed problems I’d stopped noticing

Breville Barista Express, stopped going out for coffee and the Breville is top notch and makes a mean cup of coffee.

I’ve had my Breville Barista Express since 2010, and it has had no skipped a beat. Used every day.

I'm in need of a new coffee machine!

Id recommend the Breville Barista Express Impress specifically. The one in our office hammers out a whole bowl of pucks every day and doesn’t get cleaned on time and just keeps going - 2 years and counting. The tamp works really well and keeps the bench tidy of grind. The ui works well. It doesn’t s

Switching from BBE to Bambino

I had BBE impress before and upgraded to HX machine. I thought I’m done with Breville coffee machine but I just got bambino from Marshall’s for $169 for red tag sale. My suggestion will be… keep your machine and save money for next machine instead of going down. BBE can pre-heat group head so if you

Trouble brewing for Starbucks CEO who calls $9 coffee an ‘experience’

Save your money. Buy a Breville Barista Express. Justify it by saying you're saving money vs buying $9 coffee. End up drinking multiple cups of espresso every day for the next 5+ years, at least.
