Was wondering what people’s coffee setups are.
I’ll start. I mainly drink espresso and piccolo’s. But also have several Moka pots that only get used once every few months since getting the BDB.

We picked up the exact same unit for our small office a few years back. Nothing fancy but with good beans it makes a good cup of coffee. It probably makes somewhere in the order of 10 coffees a day and hasn’t missed a beat since 2019.
wow! That’s good to know. How often do you clean/descale it ?
Clean it once a week (don’t buy the tablets, you can use the same powder the cafes use and it’s way cheaper) and descale every 3 months. Our water isn’t too hard so we don’t need that so much.
How have you been enjoying the BBE?
Its not too fancy but gets the job done. I only drink coffee in the morning so I did the math as I used to spend more than $1200 every year on coffee and after buying this for $550 + milk +beans, it brings my total to around $800. Plus it saves time as now I dont have to go to the coffee shop.
Yeah, I was buying at least 1-2 coffees a day. I only buy around 2-3 a week now (when I’m not at home). I’m also getting to the point where I’m happier with the quality of coffee at home than what I’m getting at a cafe.
