espresso is tough at this price point, not sure I'd bother for pourover would get the xbloom @thepark suggested, it was really slick when I saw it in person

wow there’s a coffee machine automating pouring over hot water?? for this money can just buy a decent grinder and pour over filter yourself and buy coffee for years ahead can only see folks buying it who already do pour over and want to automate it with a good looking machine like that

xbloom has a built-in grinder that’s better than what 99% of users have at home and it does pourover better (and more consistently) than most home baristas. so, yes it’s better and therefore more expensive. of course you can buy a V60 and a gooseneck kettle to do it yourself, but that’s a) more manual labour b) likely lower quality and/or less consistent results. main advantage for that approach is that you enjoy the process or cost is your main concern.
