How much money do I have to spend on good equipment?

For a good filter coffee setup, 150 to 300 euros are sufficient, while an entry-level espresso scenario with a grinder and portafilter starts at around 700 to 1,500 euros.

Costs for filter coffee lovers

The costs for an excellent filter coffee setup are between 150 and 300 euros. You only need a manual hand grinder, a pour-over filter (like the Hario V60), an accurate precision scale, and a gooseneck kettle. With this comparatively small budget, you can achieve results that can keep up with many specialty cafes.

Costs for home baristas

Getting started in the world of espresso requires a budget of 700 to 1,500 euros. You should plan on around 300 to 500 euros for a capable electric espresso grinder. A solid entry-level portafilter machine (single boiler or small thermoblock) costs another 400 to 800 euros. Even though this is a large upfront investment, these costs amortize very quickly through daily enjoyment at home.
