I often ask myself this. I think of how much I (used) to pay for coffee & lunch each week, but balk at buying a game or tool.
It took years to convince myself to buy a coffee machine but I'm pretty sure it will pay for itself in less than a year. And I has no computers in it, so it is relatively simple to service and has less to go wrong with it so I'm hoping it lasts more than the usual 2 or 3 years.
I've thought about buying a coffee machine, but it seems like it might end up being a lot of dicking around with grinding beans, cleaning and maintenance.
I don't need another thing to clean and maintain.
Also the machines aren't cheap, maybe the cost of 200 cups of coffee.
So with the cost of beans, etc, I'd probably want it to last at least 2 years just to break even taking into account the inconvenience.
Just not sure I'd get the value out of it.
But it would be nice to get to the point where I could be guaranteed a really good coffee just how I like it every day.

And I take sandwiches for lunch.
