Oh yes, was just saying that costs wouldn’t need to be as high as that for a good espresso set up, also illustrated by @Nef

Ah fair point!
I mean similarly, I wouldn't recommend a newcomer buy an £80 second hand Classic!
I do agree that it seems pretty overkill for a filter setup of course. It's actually kind of refreshing to see someone put a fair bit of effort (well, money) as opposed to espresso for their home setup. I'd be willing to bet they'll have a better (and for sure more consistent) experience with their filter setup than the average espresso newcomer.

I'm sure a newcomer to espresso can make some utter shit espresso with a manual lever machine
