Indeed, working in a coffee shop you normally spend a good 5-10 minutes getting the espresso dialled in, then monitoring it throughout the day making small adjustments where necessary. The odds of your first shot being bang on are slim. If you're having an espresso at home once per day, this is the only coffee you're going to drink.
Normally I go for filter, and when I do go for espresso, my wife's flat white gets made first. So I at least can have a decent estimate of any adjustments that need to be made.

Home espresso is a massive faff and basically the dream you have of making beautiful lil flatties every morning before work very quickly goes out the window! However it’s a nice thing to have, especially in this lockdown period.
I’d be probably looking at one of the Sage all in one jobbies if I were doing it again like the one @duncs is selling.
