Most demanding coffee lovers

[gsan]

What kind of coffee machine can deliver gourmet tasting coffee that its so superior to other coffees that it would only be catered to the super rich who have the most finnicky taste? Espresso, cappuccino, latte, ect... for the most demanding coffee lovers. Presentation, preparation, higher end ingredients, ect...

Wealth has nothing to do with taste, more like arrogance and spoiled expectations. Regarding espresso, skill and the coffee being used far outweighs equipment alone. You can have a $50K setup at home and will get swill if you're clueless about the process. You've inquired about this sort of thing previously and the replies will remain the same.

If you get good coffee, a burr grinder, and a digital scale to get your ratio right, just about any machine will brew great coffee. GREAT coffee. And if you don't get good coffee, and you don't buy whole beans and grind them, and if you eyeball the amount of grounds, well then it doesn't matter what brew it in. It may occasionally be ok, but that is likely to be by accident and not repeatable.
