the Barista Express
Breville
$699.95An all-in-one machine that still makes you participate. It is the accessible on-ramp that teaches better habits instead of hiding the process.

Encore ESP
Baratza
$199.95I would use the Encore ESP over the standard Encore here because the article is about espresso, not drip coffee. It keeps the approachable price logic but gives the grind range the ritual actually needs.
