Owning a $10,000 machine for #espresso is a nice pinnacle of the hobby and love for #coffee; but it often comes at a cost very few tell you about.
I bought a Speedster from KvdW in 2010ish. Landed cost around $7,500 (he gave me a deal).
In 10 years of ownership (I sold it 2yr ago), nearly $8,000 in service + maintenance.
La Marzocco GS3 MP since 2007: I'm on my third machine (2 trade ins for problems). $10K machine. I've spent at least $7K on service in 3 machines' lifetimes.
