Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

I can't believe I answered "board games" to this before. Yes, espresso wins it over. I just got an espresso machine for my 10th anniversary (price too high for me to be willing to admit). And here I have a wishlist of $500+ in "devices" for it.

Like you, I'm about 3 weeks in and just now getting my burr grind just right for that perfect 26s shot. Luckily my vendor was giving out a free badass scale. It keeps telling me how bad my shot is.

I still for the life of me can’t get the hang of latte art though.

Ditto. I just got my first "correct emulsified foam" today. Usually I end up with hot milk with hot whipped milk on top.
