> But Moka isn't espresso and neither is Aeropress. It isn't - but what most people want is coffee. They think they want espresso - until they realize how expensive and truly difficult it is to dial in. > You don't really need to be very "into it" for that. Just buy good beans and adjust the grinder as per the instructions and feedback either from the timer or pressure gauge. Which grinder? Most grinders don't properly grind for espresso - you need a solid burr grinder specifically for espresso to get consistent results. You're starting at $400. Which Cafe's are you guys going to? So many great espresso options in my city (A mid-sized city). I highly doubt you can't find good espresso in any major city.
