That machine started me down my rabbit hole. Solid machine for what it is.

I started with a used Dedica + Mazzer Jolly used in my student days. Setup was maybe like 200-250.
Edit: don’t get why I’m being down voted.. there’s a reason why Breville and De’Longhi are most popular machines. Mazzer in the used market is pretty good too for a first setup..

Currently on vacation, have to work with just a moka pot and a cheap coffee grinder that is probably the crappiest known to mankind lol

Ooo! I’ve never dared post because I’ve only got a low end machine. I love it though and it’s a huge improvement from my kettle and instant coffee. I made my little area in the kitchen as pretty as I could.
Are you suggesting the more aesthetic or dedicated setups aren’t “real?”
Not everyone prioritizes the same things. That doesn’t mean people who do it differently to you are somehow faking something, or being unrealistic. It also doesn’t mean those people could rightly say *your* setup isn’t “real” because it isn’t like theirs.
You could have a clean, spacey, aesthetic setup too if you prioritized it. You haven’t, *and that’s totally fine*. Different strokes. Don’t be weird about it.

ummm…is that a mazzer made for cafe, that’s considered realistic?
Can I join? There’s quite a bit I still need to do about my setup…
I need to drill a pass through the countertop to plumb it in and cleanup the wires (I’ve got the water, power and wastewater lines behind the cupboards just haven’t hooked it up yet) plus I think I need some art in the back but… malelivingspaces xD

The Infuser is a solid af machine. But if you don’t look after them (cleaning/backflush etc) they don’t last a long time
this machine beats the living crap out of bambinos!

I agree, show us your ‘unaesthetic’ setups!
i’ve had one for almost 10 years and still works well
This is the most Australian looking kitchen ever.

Yessssss! Thank you! I thought I was breaking the bank with the Mara X and was crucified about it not being good enough … lol 2 years strong.

Thanks for showing us what 99% of coffee stations wish to be.

I can get behind this post
I’ll post a photo later but I bought mine used, and did the same with the grinder.
Infuser is still going strong (minus a bit of maintenance).

This is me. Ten years with the Infuser.
people here literally have cafe style setups, I am surprised everytime. yours look good and functional

I inherited my Infuser from my brother. The grinder and scale were a gift from the wife. Current equipment investment… what ever the mat cost.
If you post it you usually get angry and mocking comments, that’s why we don’t
I’m way too embarrassed but this post made me feel comfortable sharing my budget setup.
Nothing here is expensive. Either bought on black friday sale or prime deals lol. And a tabletop vacuum from temu.

My low end Breville was upvoted last week
