I used to buy Second Cup every day, and just a relatively cheap Americano. About 15 years ago I picked up a $1200 deLonghi Magnifica fully auto espresso machine. Since then I’ve run off, according to the counter in the machine diag, 40,000+ shots of espresso. At $3 a cup at Second cup, with bean costs, I’ve probably paid for that machine 30 or 40X over.
I recently had to replace that machine finally, but I have another one at the cabin with almost 20,000 shots registered on it. It wasn’t just a fluke.
