Are you getting good use out of your espresso machine? (lemmy.world)

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 have never found, for the same amount of prep, domestic machine espresso to be as good as commercial machine espresso. The difference between the machines, having worked with both, is just too massive.

At home I do pour over or Aeropress for cold coffees in the summer as they produce what I think is the best coffee for effort and price.
