I know this is completely subjective but those of you who have $2K+ machines, or even $1K machines, what does a great espresso mean to you vs. a $500 machine or dedicated coffee house or very high end restaurant?

I've had 5 "professional" espressos at local coffee houses. 4 have been decent, one was just not that great and none have bowled me over. Have experimented with my older Saeco which makes as good or better a cup than any of the coffee houses with $5000 machines.

I cook a lot, French, etc. and have a refined palette. I use a French press to start the day.

I have yet to have an awesome espresso and am dying to have one again.

What are your thoughts?
