There are some incredible home coffee makers around right now, capable of brewing hot and cold, adding syrup, and even predicting what you want to drink when. However, they come with price tags to match, and spending an entire month's pay on something to make espresso isn't a particularly palatable idea.
Thankfully it doesn't have to be that way, and there are lots of machines available for much less. It's important to tread carefully, though. The most affordable coffee makers are often cheap for a reason, with poor pressure and temperature control that will leave you frustrated and resenting how many beans you've wasted making coffee that tastes fine one minute and terrible the next.
