for the folks who frequent sites like coffeegeek.com, Mark. Check out the site below if you want to look inside the minds of folks who start their days with quad lattes. Think about quaffing a quad and driving the morning rush in an Aero....
The "Silvia" just happens to be the benchmark for home espresso fans. But then of course you can't use some cheap-o grinder for your home roasted bean blend, right? So you'd better buy a US$200 grinder to go with it. Oh, and don't forget the fifty buck tamper.
And yet...if you figure out what you hand the pimply faced kid at Starbucks for a so-so drink + tip every day, you might conclude that it wouldn't take more than a 6-8 months to amortize the cost of the home setup.
When my wife threw a fit over my purchase of the Nuovo Simonelli "Oscar," I justified it with the above argument PLUS the fact that in buying the Arc wagon v. the Aero, I saved her a bundle in up front costs and insurance premiums <G>.
Best,
Greg
