Coffee Appreciation

Why do you want an espresso machine? It's hard work, and expensive, to get decent coffee out of it. Why not go for a method that's cheap and gives consistent and great results, and keep espresso as a treat when you're out and about?

Funny you should say that, I'm getting sick of my daily battle with my espresso machine. Think I'm going to get an aeropress as they are relatively cheap. Paper or metal filters?
