I spent about $750 on a Rancilio Silvia, about $550 on a DF64 espresso grinder and some several hundred here and there for other small equipment at $20-30 apiece. I then paid about $750 or so to a coffee roasting machine, and I started to regularly roast my own coffee. Put in about $200 for books on roasting, and I’m now fully vertically integrated, ready to forcibly take over a small Caribbean nation to plant my flag and start my first coffee plantation under the auspices of the West India Company.
