I used to do that occasionally... Was dating/living with Wendy, who I met via THR, and she liked coffee... I had never really been a fan - My mother couldn't cook beyond baking, and that included coffee, so I hadn't really been exposed to stuff that wasn't... not all that good...
And Wendy liked coffee. So I got coffee stuff. Including an espresso maker. I still have the grinder, but I gave the pump machine to a guy I was driving for back around 2012 or so...
Is anyone into that sort of thing? Considering getting another, preferably capable of single cups of american-style coffee too...
FWIW, when I had the house in the suburbs, my kitchen had a commercial Bunn coffee maker - gave that to my buddy Rich when I was out at the lake. Fair coffee, very fast, but on all the time...
