I really don't understand people who get coffee shop coffee every day. That's so expensive. Just make it at home.
A simple cup of filter coffee is easy enough to make at home with cheap equipment, sure, but espresso/milk drinks are a different story, and some people prefer milk drinks to filter coffee. A decent home espresso machine that can also steam milk is gonna run you around $150 at the low end. Some people don't have that much laying around at once, but can afford the $3 cappuccino a couple times a week.
If it costs $150 it isn't an espresso machine. I hope you missed a zero because the other point is pretty bad too in that context.
Depends on whether you consider a Flair a "machine" I guess.. But yeah, I would agree you're probably better off with a moka pot than most $150 or less espresso machines. For $150 budget to make strong coffee with milk type drinks, I'd recommend most folks get a moka pot and milk frother.
