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.

Espresso.

It started with a second hand cheap machine from my grandmother as a gift for Christmas.

Then I bought a delonghi grinder for £50 and a used delonghi dedica for £60.

Then I upgraded the grinder to a baratza sette for £300.

Then I upgraded the espresso machine to a Lelit Bianca for £2000

Then I bought an EG-1 grinder for £3000

Now I'm looking to upgrade my machine soon.

Also I bought acaia scales and a puqpress and various coffee related things along the way, as well as spending essentially £10 a week on beans

I decided buy once cry once, and bought a used Simonelli Musica and Mazzer grinder. No temptation for upgrades for years to come.
