Budget: Are you willing to put down a pretty penny for a high-end appliance, or do you prefer to start basic to ensure you’re committed to your coffee cause? Home espresso machines can vary from under $100 for a decent one to upwards of $500 and even $2000 and beyond. You’ll also want to consider how much you’ll be spending on ingredients, including the beans, milk, and sweetener. You may also need to buy additional accessories such as a grinder, tamper, frother, and frother pitcher (to name just a few extras) if they’re not included in the machine. Then, compare your annual costs of buying your beverages to-go versus making them at home.
