For example, I’m sure the average joe doesn’t know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.

      I was going to say it’s a lot less expensive if you don’t need espresso. An aeropress is around $40, I bought mine nearly two decades ago, and still use it daily!

      …then I realized I spent $160 on the grinder right next to it. So I’m not totally immune. :P

        You can get a French press for $10 - $20. Get the beans from a coffee shop and ask them to grind it.

        You now have great coffee for a month.

        I have an aeropress for solo coffee at home and a deltapress at work, espresso machine for batch coffees.
