Just recently decided to get a Lelit Mara X, df83V and started roasting my own coffee at home.
Every time I see small set ups or bad machines that are popular I cringe and think to myself self “oh how much these people are missing out”
I don’t know what recently changed as I always just used to make my coffee and get on with my day and never paid much attention to the “ritual”. However now, everything is a super sacred ritual that deserves to be respected and given ample care and attention to make these memorable cups of coffee that I’m drinking every morning 😂

What constitutes a “bad machine” in your view?
espressocirclejerk is that way lolz
also, where’s your butler?
Haha yup, welcome to the club. Once you dial in that perfect shot with beans you roasted yourself, there’s no going back. It’s wild how fast coffee turns from a drink into a full on lifestyle ritual!
Saying you’re a coffee snob and drinking it with milk is like saying you’re a whiskey snob and drinking it with coke
Better that then wine snob
Wine snobs are not as fun
Can’t afford this type of machine, but I see what you think ..
Especially with full auto machine or pod machine too.
But you can have budget quality, I have a 250€ Duo Temp Pro and a 90€ Baratza Encore ESP. MW3 accessories.
In short, nice quality budget setup. 😁
That coffee looks delish
Machine is killer – Would be keen to see your roasting setup as well…
What do you roast with
me happy with my second hand Solac 19 bar pressurized basket coming from a nespresso machine
