but could there be a reason why the machine coffee doesn’t taste as good
Espresso is a pain to consistently get right and is a lot more susceptible to small differences in things like water temp & pressure and grind size & consistency.
Even decent coffee shops with great beans and professional baristas will still make sub-par espressos throughout the day. Making 1 per day (or so) on a small machine will obviously be less consistent than that.

I’ve got an aeropress and a gaggia classic. The aeropress makes a really smooth coffee that’s really balanced.
As soon as I put the coffee through the machine it’s a bit bitter. Obviously there’s more water in the aeropress but could there be a reason why the machine coffee doesn’t taste as good
