I was starting a business importing roasted coffee from Europe to the US a few years ago. I asked my roaster in Paris what machine he recommended. His suggestion was over 1,000 euro.
Smiled, and said my wife won't sacrifice counter space.
He came back with Aeropress and i've never looked back. Near espresso flavor... I do double size - 16 grams fresh ground (using a Porlex) with 6 grams of water:coffee.
Also use the "upside down" hack and permafilters (the finest screen one).
