I used to like espresso. And then I got tired of all the "experts" telling me I was doing literally
everything wrong (in
their "humble" opinion) from the beans, the grinding and the packing, to the machine, the quantity and the cup. If I cared what anyone thought, I would have developed an inferiority complex.
Drip, on the strong setting, is easier anyway. Good enough. You wouldn't want me in your club, lol.
