    I used to buy Second Cup every day, and just a relatively cheap Americano. About 15 years ago I picked up a $1200 deLonghi Magnifica fully auto espresso machine. Since then I’ve run off, according to the counter in the machine diag, 40,000+ shots of espresso. At $3 a cup at Second cup, with bean costs, I’ve probably paid for that machine 30 or 40X over.

    I recently had to replace that machine finally, but I have another one at the cabin with almost 20,000 shots registered on it. It wasn’t just a fluke.

        Yah, they’re double shots. So 3.5 coffees a day. Probably too much but I’m good with it. You can die fast or you can die miserable.

        Idk how the machine counts shots, but I imagine if you drink double shots it should count as 2? That’s 3 coffees a day, so not out of the realm of possibilities. And if it’s just regular ones, 3-4 a day isn’t unheard of. More so if shared with a spouse
