I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.
I got a variation of that machine VERY cheap second hand and It’s been fantastic.
Make coffee how you like and enjoy it, You don’t need to spend big money on something just because others have.
