Totally agree! I don't get spending tons of money on a home coffee machine.
I used pre-ground Kimbo that I bring back from Italy in a Capresso EC100 ($100) machine and it makes fantastic espresso. 15 bar pump pressure
But I do enjoy going to my coffee-nerd friend's house for a coffee.
I need to get another espresso machine. What would you say is the best one for under $200?
I think coffee is like beer or wine. You can nerd out and spend tons of money, but in the end it's what you prefer. Some people genuinely like Bud Light and Dunkin Donuts coffee.

For the fancy machine it is more fun to go to the bar.
