I bought a very expensive espresso machine thinking I'd cut down on my coffee shop visits. Turns out, I use the machine maybe a few times a month and I go even more frequently to coffee shops. I realized I don't go to coffee shops for the coffee itself, I go because I want to get out of the house, take a walk, sip good coffee and enjoy the ambiance of the world.

I've bought a not so expensive espresso machine and a good mill and my coffee shop visits went to almost 0. I know what to expect there - pretty mediocre german coffee from espresso machines which are not cleaned often enough. Maybe if I would live in a part of the world with a descent coffee I would feel different about it, but it is what it is here. It also turns out that I care 0 about feelings and atmosphere, I just care about a good espresso.

Your username is very appropriate for this comment :D

"seek and ye shall find"? I mean they didn't exactly try to find out why they were drinking so much coffee, they were more trying to save money(I think).
