While I was in Hawaii, I was able to convince my wife to let me buy a fancy espresso machine. I justified it by showing the ROI created by a lesser dependecy on Starbucks visits. Here’s the math:

• Grande Americano = $2.30
• 5 Americanos per week * 52 weeks per year = 260 Americanos
• Total Cost = $598 anually

Lindsey estimates her Starbucks consumption to be around $400 per year (before including the banana loaf).
Tamping my first shot.


My precious.


Molto buon!
