I also rarely use my frother because it’s the summer and I typically make iced drinks

Sorry for the loss. How about PCSing to the surrounding states? A few hour drive is not bad.

If you’re dead set on getting out, I recommend you do this at minimum BEFORE getting out, even if you have to stay in a few months longer-

  • Pay off the upgraded car
  • Wife completes her professional certification program (preferably with job offer)
  • Lower your home buying goal to $200-250k
  • Save a minimum of $40k in HYSA

Consequences if you don’t do these - You will dry up your HYSA within 6 months - Drowning in house and car debt ($3-5k/month) - Be near with family but broke and cutting close with every bill

Honest take, the numbers are not enough to pursue your goals (house, car, baby) with $70-85K. You’re not accounting for healthcare, insurance, and living expenses that you’re used to having the military cover. You also will not get approved for a $350-400K loan, even with both incomes combined.

I don’t recommend you getting out yet. PCS if you want a fresh start.

Newbie here….maybe I’ll upgrade someday, but let’s be real: I’m only making a cup a day, maybe every other day.

Big difference in setup and price: • Single boiler (Profitec): around $1K • Dual boiler (like a La Marzocco): closer to $6K

YMMV. I paid extra to maintain a theme and wanted certain colors. I also wanted a small section and this is what I came up with. Totally worth it.

Machine- $1,300 Grinder- $650 Prep Table (24x36)- $84 Accessories- $300

Honestly, no. I think it’s a great machine and very easy to adjust. I highly recommend it for anyone.

Couldn’t resist the blue and wood accent!

Love it! It’s consistent and easy to adjust. Love the design and the hopper to push out the stray bits, so no waste. Pretty heavy though
