I’ve got a baller espresso machine and in the same price range as your bike.
Does it make financial sense? No.
Does it make me smile every day? Like you wouldn’t believe.
Don't feel too terrible. This thing will pay itself off in only ~2 years, for you and SO's drinks. Versus going out to get a cup full of sub-par pulls.

Right on! Same way I feel about my bike. Every time I swing my leg over it I feel immensely happy with my decision.
Looking up the most expensive espresso machines now just to see what the top end ones are like.
