I really don't understand people who get coffee shop coffee every day. That's so expensive. Just make it at home.
A simple cup of filter coffee is easy enough to make at home with cheap equipment, sure, but espresso/milk drinks are a different story, and some people prefer milk drinks to filter coffee. A decent home espresso machine that can also steam milk is gonna run you around $150 at the low end. Some people don't have that much laying around at once, but can afford the $3 cappuccino a couple times a week.
Thats just poor personal finance then. Paying 3$ a couple times a week, so let's say 4 times, runs you up at 12$ a week. So within 13 weeks you'd have the money to buy a machine.
An aeropress is 40$, so it's even cheaper. 4 weeks or so then based on that math!
