Additionally:
Nespresso pod type machines: I don't like them. The coffee is weak and doesn't taste as good as an aeropress. You get about 5g per pod, I'd need 3 pods to fill my coffee cup.

Espresso machines: You are going to fiddle with these forever. You'll keep upgrading the machine, the grinder, messing around trying to dial it in... a rabbit hole and a very expensive rabbit hole.

But you certainly can get a great coffee at home, it just probably wont happen with the first set of equipment you buy.
