What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

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 is the line I won't let myself cross (and I don't have the counter space lol), but the $350 for the Kinu M47 was hard to swallow.

Plus side, it's also a great espresso grinder if I do ever eventually head down that road.

Me too. Besides, I have just enough space for my AeroPress. Gettin a machine of any type would make it difficult for me to do other things in my small kitchen.

Besides, I’m not entirely sure I would appreciate the flavors I can get out of coffee using an espresso machine. I’ve tried a bunch of different drinks at several cafes and I just don’t see the value in owning a machine like that. AP coffee is just fine or even really good as long as you use the right type of beans.

Aww cmon, you might be able to find a used flair lever machine for under $100 like I did, and then it's game over
