HobbyStack helps you build complete, tiered hobby setups instead of scrolling endless “best of” lists.Choose Kids (LEGO & Minecraft) or Adults (espresso, home gym, gaming PC, hi-fi, photography, home office, and more).
Stumbled on this on PH today by accident. Funny timing. I have been trying to solve this exact problem for months.
Every “best espresso setup” page is a ranked list of machines. Nobody puts the whole stack in one place: grinder, scale, tamper, beans, then the machine. So I keep opening 15 tabs and still do not know what to buy first.
I generated a Home Espresso stack just now. Entry / Enthusiast / Pro came back in about 20 seconds. Niche Zero sat in every tier as the base, which is the bit Reddit always argues and review sites bury. Enthusiast added the WDT / knock box kit instead of just swapping the machine. That is the difference between a setup and a shopping list.
One honest note: Pro kept the Niche Zero and swapped the Gaggia Classic Pro for a KitchenAid with a built-in grinder. Two grinders in a “cafe-grade” stack felt off. A “what I already own” filter would help a lot, so people who already bought a grinder do not get another one.
You checkout at each merchant, which I like. Congrats on the launch, Dom.
@onur_cepheli Thanks for checking out HobbyStack and starting with your own Home espresso stack. I'm a coffee obsessive as well, so having the right setup is a must for me as well! That's a really great idea about having the "what I already own" filter - what do you think the best implementation for that would be? A delete option from results UI, and re-run, or an additional filter at the build stage to exclude? Open to ideas on implementation of this. Once again, thanks for checking out my launch Onur and sharing your thoughts.
