Hey Product Hunt,
I’m the founder of HobbyStack. I built this because I kept running into the same problem: I’d decide I wanted to get serious about a hobby (espresso, photography, home gym, etc.), open a dozen tabs, read conflicting reviews, and still end up with a half-baked setup or buyer’s remorse.
Kids have it easier in some ways, LEGO and Minecraft already feel “stackable.” Adults just get overwhelm. So I made the tool I wished existed:
Pick a hobby → set a budget → get three clear tiers (Entry / Enthusiast / Pro) built from live merchant catalogs. You buy directly from the brands you already trust.
We design the stack; you own the checkout.There’s also a Concierge option for people who want a human to do the heavy lifting.
HobbyStack is free to use at launch. No account required for the builder. We’re currently on waitlist and opening soon.Would love your honest feedback, especially if you’ve ever abandoned a hobby because the gear research felt like a second job.
Thanks for checking it out.

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.
