I invested too much on the sg bambino plus machine + sg grinder pro + tools like normcore tamper, wdt tool, etc.. Should I try selling? What do I do? I'm really feeling gutted over this. I have this setup since November 2023

With few of almost freebies from Temu, it's time for the coffe station update. 😁

Wasn't going to but that tamp station until $0.01 discount offer 🤣

I’ve always hated running out of coffee beans. There’s nothing worse than stumbling to the coffee machine on a bleary Monday morning, only to hear that dreadful sound of an empty grinder...

Sure, I could probably be a bit more organized. But instead, I decided to overengineer a solution so I’d never have to face this problem again... I built The Bean Buddy!

Although it’s not the prettiest right now, the Bean Buddy is a vacuum-sealed smart jar designed to keep your coffee beans fresh, just like a regular coffee jar. What sets it apart is its ability to track how many beans you have left as you use them. It notifies me when supplies are running low and even gives me a heads-up before it automatically places an order. It means fresh beans arrive at my doorstep before I ever run out.

What do you think? Would you use something like this? Maybe it's for tea, or dog food... maybe I'm crazy.

Either way, let me know!

P.S. If you've seen this post before in r/homeautomation, some great people recommended I stop by this community too!

what do people do when the station is not near a sink and need water for rinsing out the portafilter? Just have a bucket of water?

I want to get my mom a coffee machine that brews from ground coffee not pods and I would like it if it could make a variety of different coffee like a latte. I've been looking a lot but I really have no idea what's good or not. Can someone here suggest some machines under $300?

My frother decided after far too many drink that it was done with me. I'm hoping to get suggestions before I purchase a new one. I would like one with temperature control options as I enjoy a hotter drink. Also I am willing to spend a bit more if it is quality & will last.

Hi all,

I spend way too much in under=optimal coffee outside my house. I also think its a reason to go out, even if sometimes quality is a bit lost, its not only about the drink.

Anyways, I would enjoy producing some coffee at home, 1 per morning, on average, 6 per weekenend. I like espressos, cortados, and capuccinos (maybe too milky for me). I probably do not want to spend more than 700 USD, by far. I have a Bialetti. I may enjoy to do 2 Capuccinos in a row (for someone else), probably not 3.

I like the 9Barista, the analog feel, and the Pavoni Press. They are also very "mechanical / Analog". I guess I would need some type of Foamer to go with the 9Barista, but I can take it...

Any hint welcome.

thanks

I’m looking for an electric gooseneck kettle to serve for pour overs as well as Americanos.

The Fellow Stagg Is super popular but expensive, the bodum is cheap but smaller, the Oxo doesn’t come in black, the cuisinart is looking like the best middle ground unless I just say “send it” and get the fellow.

Any other recommendations that fit the similar aesthetic as the Stagg?
