The Low-Cost Aldi Espresso Machine
By James Hoffmann
The dark stuff. The fuel. The one honest companion in a world that keeps its cards too close. Strong, bitter, sometimes mean coffee doesn’t lie; it just tells you what kind of day you’re about to have. This tag is where all those cups end up: the good brews, the bad ones, the ones that kept you upright when the night got long, and the work that wouldn’t quit. If it’s roasted, poured, sipped, or survived, it lives here, steaming under a low light, waiting for the next restless soul.
