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.

Don't listen to the others. What you are doing is good. I, too, am obsessed with a decent cup.

Just yesterday, I was out with my wife and we went to a coffee shop. I got a superlative cappuccino and picked up a pretty expensive bag of beans meant for espresso. So good.

When I was younger, I could never afford this sort of thing, but as I get older I can't really enjoy a lot of other things and don't need to spend much to live other than basic expenses. :)

Man, lucky you got coffee shops around that serve food coffee, I got 2 shops in the whole of my city that serve decent, not good, coffee.

It's a big city so there's a few. I don't get out much, though. :)
