The Magical Fruit
The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Howdy fellow Chicagoan. My first foray into home espresso was a Gaggia Classic and a Baratza Encore. That was more than enough to replace my forays into the coffee shops.
A friend of mine uses a cheap breville and preground coffee and is satisfied, so I think it all depends on how picky you are.
Always nice to meet another Chicagoan! Thanks for the recommendations. Will take a look!
