Using Mike's metric of value expressed in terms of trips avoided to Starbucks, etc., that would take a looooong time to pay off...

Beautiful looking machine, though.

Avoiding Starbucks, or any of the dozens of $5 espresso drive-thrus and cafes littering my city, led me to this wonderful 6000 euro purchase back in 2010. Worth. Every. Euro. Nothing like waking up each and every morning to such an amazing work of art, ready to go. No need to drive anywhere. I savored about 2 double espressos and a double cappa before dare doing anything else to start off the day. For whatever reason, home roasting never appealed to me.

Apologies for the super crappy cell pic:
