Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine (BES880BSS)

For the price of an Aeropress, I'm completely satisfied with that choice. The real secret is to get a good grinder and buy good beans. //@Anonymous: To be completely fair, it is stronger than moka pot coffee (which is made under 2 atm pressure unlike espresso at 10-ish), and sometimes I prefer Aeropress to the espresso made by Breville. Now, I don't see myself buying a nice manual like Rancilio Silvia ($2k+) but from time to time I miss the smoothness of espressos made by machines in this range. //@Anonymous: Aeropress does not make espresso. What are you even talking about? //@anonymous: Really? Microplastics? Like the auto espresso machine is just glass and stainless? Anyway you all are silly comparing a hand espresso pump to an automatic machine with a steamer and grinder. Apples and oranges. //@anonymous: you will end up drinking more microplastics into your body using aeropress as the whole thing is made of plastic. You have to take that risk of putting hot water into plastic for long term consumption. //@Anonymous: Better than an aeropress?

Ding ding ding! This is the correct answer. //@anonymous: Better, but not 25 times better, as the price ratio would suggest.
