Asking for a coffee paglu friend looking to enter the market

Diving right into the coffee brewing game at home. Want to know what's your ideal monthly coffee budget for speciality beans. Please don't include any other expense than beans or ground coffee (as that is very subjective to the brew process).

I am planning to buy a Gaggia E24 from a retailer in Mumbai. He is currently quoting a price of 62k. Should I go for it or look for better offers.
Am I being a fool in investing in this machine?

Hi I saw similar posts and tier lists done before but it is sometimes just brands and I’d really wanna know which exact coffee from the brand’s catalog is actually the favourite of most people.

Please add your top favourites mentioning brand plus which exact coffee. So please don’t say Blue Tokai be specific ex Blue Tokai French Roast

Please add a comment in the following format :

<how many years you’ve been buying specialty coffee beans>
<Top 5 or less coffees comma separated so 1,2,3,4,5 (you can add upto 5 or less. Order them best to worst)>

Example comment to vote:
1
Araku Micro Climate, Blue Tokai French Roast

Aside from the top two lines of the comment feel free to add more light on your reasoning

I will probably accumulate the data and try to update somewhere once we get enough comments.

Please do upvote so this reaches enough people - I don’t care for karma only to compile a list that I can personally try out for my pour over and cold brew setup. I am into data analytics and would add the results later if we get enough traction on this post.
