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 also have a flair (flair 58, for me) and it took 3 30g shots to get the grind dialled in, I watched a few videos on good pressure profiles to follow and it's easy to use any specific pressure

Mine has preheat and came with a pressure gauge. It would be much harder without a gauge
