I’m currently brewing in an Aeropress, and considering one of the lower end espresso machines.

But based on a few comments from James Hoffmann about him drinking filter coffee at home, I’m wondering if an espresso machine is something that people end up using every day, or if people are brewing with simpler methods and just making espressos when they’ve got time on the weekend or people over?

What’s your experience, did you buy a machine and it mostly just takes up counter space, or is it a daily source of joy?

    I’ve owned two second hand Rancilio Silvias and they are very well built, I’ve seen them used commercially and while this wouldn’t be recommended they can take some abuse. I use it every day and it’s perfect, the Aeropress lives in the van now.
