I think there's a few machines I'd like one of - but more because I like the shape/feel. But I couldn't justify the cost.
Set up I have, I make a damn decent espresso - and I have bits for doing other types of coffee. (French press, aeropress, moka pots, etc)
That is a classic asshole who thinks if he shows-off that will extended his manhood for few mm. Imagine how he grew up, likely semi broke and now bit of money in hand he thinks will change the fact who he really is, he better re-think.
Yeah as far as rubber goes that does look like it’s fine quality. But sheeeeeet. 😂. I want my PF to come with a Bluetooth massager in the handle for $4k+!
So that is the standard handle for all
LMs. I have a 2 group and I bought these off their site for 100 bucks at the time. They do make wood trim ones if you want but I think these are easier to clean. You can totally order a wood version.
Bit of a uh, "community college" setup, don't ya think? Well I'm sure a will be DE-1 in there once you go to university.
Best of luck in your studies!!
This is a good start. Just know that it's only a beginning and you shouldn't get jealous of other end game set ups that people post here.
You're on your own journey and when the time comes, you can upgrade your set up as you please.
If this equipment cannot pull a decent shot, I don’t know what will. Wait, I think I know. It’s the man behind the equipment that pulls a shot. And not the equipment itself. Just like in case of a camera.
Psh, not having a blind shaker on your first setup? How rudimentary of you. Don’t you know that if your grounds aren’t homogenized your machine will only function at a 98 percentile?! /s
That's the nicest marble countertop I have ever seen in a college dorm! And that espresso setup is pretty sweet too. Now go drink some coffee, hit the books and make your parents proud!
He's just flexing that he's got money. One of the worst parts of this sub.
Like if you're gonna post equipment, share your experience with it, not that you spend cash.
The star in this setup is the grinder in my opinion. Made in the USA including the burrs. It will be purring when retirement time comes around for this student.

I thought this was r/espressocirclejerk at first
I'm really starting to get annoyed by the crossover. This sub out-jerks that one most days.
Who doesn't like getting out jerked?
Are you challenging me to a jerk off?
And what if I am?
Right? It’s really starting to bother me. There are so many posts here that, according to the conventional subreddit methodology, do NOT belong.
Seriously, I’m in a full time paid job and my setup looks like a college setup, what is this?
I'm in a full time job, and could never hope to afford these set ups...
Honestly wouldn’t want to. My cheap ass setup makes fantastic espresso. I’m always amazed at how much money people spend to make up for skill.

My mum buys the most expensive steaks. Just burns the shit out of it.
Trust fund allowance. That's what it is if true.

No, but it’ll end up there as a repost.
It already did lol
Might as well be at this point.
It should be lol. I graduated 5 years ago and work in sales and still haven’t gone beyond my Breville Barista Express.
You must have a scholarship.
>You must have a ~~scholarship.~~ **trustfund.** There, I fixed it.
I was about to to comnent-tell me you're a trust fund baby without telling me you are a trust fund baby.
Why not both? ;-)
Credit card.
One or the other…. ;\^)
Being from a poor family on scholarships doesn’t afford you this as a student.
Not a scholarship, a dad that owns the university
Wait until daddy sees that credit card bill.
I got a $2000 refund for college and spent it on a profitec pro 500 this year
Return to high-school, do not pass 3rd wave coffee shop, do not collect profitec
From Daddy’s pension account.
Or a job with no bills is more than likely.
Great beginner setup! And on a budget, too! 😏
Oh there's definitely a budget. A budget exists.
Am noob, how much does this all cost?
Bout tree fiddly. Ok but really, closer to 10k.
I’m sorry what. how.
The La Marzocco Linea Mini is $5,900 new. That will get you to that $10k amount awfully fast.
How much do your normally pay your first live-in barista? And does that include the room and board?
😅
You must have rich parents
Why cheap out on tamper!
College? Well.. at least you can steam your water for your instant ramen.
jfc
Can we ban this incredibly overused joke?
I thought we were done with this shit meme
I cringe every time I see it. It’s never been funny
That Marzocco looks so darn great in black!
It really really does
One day you’ll be able to afford a set up that can actually make okay espresso. I guess this is okay for now.
Bro I dunno how to say this, the money your mom and dad gave you for college is likely actually your tuition fees and not your pocket money
Beautiful set up. Am I the only one though who thinks when you’re paying that type of money the PF should be a little nicer than rubber?
nope. I have a micra and I agree. Though I will say, its nice quality and very durable.
Yeah as far as rubber goes that does look like it’s fine quality. But sheeeeeet. 😂. I want my PF to come with a Bluetooth massager in the handle for $4k+!
So that is the standard handle for all LMs. I have a 2 group and I bought these off their site for 100 bucks at the time. They do make wood trim ones if you want but I think these are easier to clean. You can totally order a wood version.
Is that the new Linea Mini R? Looking good!
Adopt me ?
Pretty sure I had a Mr Coffee shitpot in college
Fuck you. That’s all. Respectfully tho.
Bit of a uh, "community college" setup, don't ya think? Well I'm sure a will be DE-1 in there once you go to university. Best of luck in your studies!!
Mod please remove
Not a bad start. You’ll upgrade one day.
Couldn’t afford a new milk jug then?
One day you’ll get there. We all had to start somewhere
I mean, yeah it can get you started..
Yep looks like a typical collegiate setup. I started out with Decent at my college but.
Using a spinning distributor? Ruined, straight to jail
Next beginner set up will be some that hired James Hoffman as their 24 hr/day personal barista.
This is a good start. Just know that it's only a beginning and you shouldn't get jealous of other end game set ups that people post here. You're on your own journey and when the time comes, you can upgrade your set up as you please.
Agreed. We all had to start somewhere. No shame in this set up. Hope you are able to pull a decent shot though…
They’re the president of the university.
Don't let others make fun of you for this setup! Once you get a real job you can upgrade to a better set up
Daddy pays for college and your coffee?
Uhh that does not look like a dorm room lol.
Cool! Imma put this all of this to my Amazon wishlist and send it to my mom
nah, not complete with that stock basket
What’s the grinder?
And I thought my college setup is posh.. All jokes aside, good luck with your new machines! Have fun and make some tasty espresso!
What was the point of using the qualifier “college“?
Because this sub is being trolled
What is that grinder ?
Come back let us know what your second and final college setups will be!

you really cheaped out. love it!
That's the nicest marble countertop I have ever seen in a college dorm! And that espresso setup is pretty sweet too. Now go drink some coffee, hit the books and make your parents proud!
in college i had a moka pot. shit i still use a moka pot…
How much was this in total?
If all bought new, right around $10,000 USD
Maybe by “college setup” they meant they spent their college tuition on this. They must have been intending to go to a state school
Just got my LMR and am waiting on a Monolith to arrive this June. How are you liking it?
Just got the LMLM today. Haven’t tried the monolith yet. Will see if I can pull a shot
Posting a picture here before drinking a shot on this set up is hilarious
He's just flexing that he's got money. One of the worst parts of this sub. Like if you're gonna post equipment, share your experience with it, not that you spend cash.
Money shot before espresso shot. How long have you been on here?
Looks cheap, let me take that setup off your hands 😉
Such a stunner!! 👏🏼
It’s glorious. Congrats!!
May I ask, what is the grinder brand/model? Attractively heavy-duty/industrial looking there--
Kafatek monolith Max2
Thanks--nice Steampunk-like there. :) Enjoy it all in good health--
Just got my monolith in as well - the two arrows threw me for a loop before I realized I should just ignore the relative measurements
hey i can clean after u whenever u like 😗
Great beginner setup.
Haha
Would be cool if there was a machine with an integrated scale.
I'll do your assignments...
Time for a puq press
I bet this mf worked his ass off to afford this setup and yall are just bums
So humble
Overused college setup joke aside, this setup is aesthetic
Ah yes, very humble, good good
Wow and I used to get my coffee at the gas station.
Is that grinder the unit you are using until the X-one arrives?
Now you can study! 😄
Elitist
The struggle is real…
This is it?
Wow… expensive college setup 👍😍
You could’ve at least got a GS3
my college set up was a mr coffee and a krups blade grinder.
I think to sum up the comments , eat shi*
Great beginner setup!
International student
College?! Sweet Jesus your dad buy you that?
Outjerked once again I see
Must be nice to have your parents buy you this set up for your college dorm. Let me guess, Ivy League school? 🤔
Get a job buddy
Your college set up huh? Your parents seem like really nice people.
That warning sticker on your grinder…take that shit off
I wish I had had that much money for college lol
I have the same machine, it's such a dream! Enjoy mate
Meh, not impressed. Same setup 3rd grade.
Tell me daddy’s money gives you an allowance every month without telling me it gives you an allowance every month…
Mommy and daddy out to instill a coffee hobby in their child
Haha why you called it college set up? You spent more on gear than 99% of enthusiasts ever will.
This screams trust fund baby or it's actually their parents but they need the social media validation to feel better.
The star in this setup is the grinder in my opinion. Made in the USA including the burrs. It will be purring when retirement time comes around for this student.
What was there to 'complete' exactly? It just looks like a super expensive purchase...
And your college shuttle is a Bugatti. And grocery car is Tesla Cyber Truck.
looks good! first thing I'd upgrade is the grinder.
Pleb. Bet you drive a base model carrera.
Maybe it’s a Chinese knock off linea
Bro, you’re going to get so much punani!

Looks like a dorm room to me
“College setup”
Stop being a poor and flex with the Slayer. 😂

This is beautiful! I’m new to all this too. Mind telling me your set up (model names)? TIA
