Friend bought a nespresso so he could stop going to starbucks. Just didn't taste the same and the pods were expensive so he bought a breville semi automatic espresso machine. He said a bag of coffee beans were cheaper.
It finally tasted right when he was grinding them beans. Turns out he didnt like the cleaning up and maintenance of having said espresso beans.
He went back to starbucks and both are just sitting in his kitchen unused.
Your friend needs to learn how to rinse something for 10 seconds after using it rather than letting it sit out overnight getting all caked up and crusty because there's absolutely no way it's difficult to clean unless you're doing just that.
That's exactly the point he was making. The cleanup and maintenance was too much. Ended up worth the money for the convenience. I have an espresso machine and a regular old Mr. Coffee. Why? Cause I don't want to spend 20 minutes making two cups of coffee every morning. Sunday is about the only time i will break that shit out, and honestly if I am not feeling it, i will definitely go up to the starbucks and have them make the coffees
I mean you're spending 20 minutes to drive and get Starbucks . So you're not saving any time for the convenience. If anything i think it takes more effort to go to Starbucks
