Roasting to me seems like ones of those things that I will always consider too much work, until I find myself doing it for some reason XD The big thing for me with espresso is the cost. I like buying my sub $50 coffee machines so my eyes just pop out when I see the price for an espresso machine. Unless the technology has changes since I last looked?
Ah yep fair enough haha, yeah depends really, you can get amazing results on fairly cheap espresso machines, I had a Gaggia Classic for about 8 years or so before I wanted to upgrade, and bought it for about $400, and the Rancilio Silvia is a very popular option for around that price, but of course up to you and what you enjoy most! There are so many amazing recipes and brews you can get with pourovers. And for sure look into the Aeropress, can even do recipes that resemble espresso shots pretty closely (it's not the same of course, but it comes pretty close!), that was quite fun exploring that actually. Have fun!
