This is exactly what it's like becoming a hobby machinist. Start off with a drill press, end up making all your own tools.

Yep I had the same experience with coffee. Started with a shitty nespresso machine, moved up to a manual machine, then semi automatic. Now I'm roasting my own beans. I would legit buy a coffee farm and make a living out of it, if I get the opportunity.
