I go through upwards of 8 lbs of beans/month that I grind in my Rancilio Rocky for pour over, Bodum 6 cup French Press, Ecopods for my Keurig and espresso for my Ascaso Uno Professional, all drunk black thank you very much and the perfect accompaniment for a pipe.

The espresso in a Cuban style cup:

The Ryan Quagliata 4 knuckle bamboo shank with Dublin Strawberrywood bowl with a plateau Bullcap, keeping it smokey with Esoterica Cardiff.

Thank you, one of the best eBay deals I’ve gotten in a long time. The machine was BNIB a wife purchased for her husband and he never opened the box and continued to buy his espresso at his local coffee spot. Three years later she places a $895.00 machine on eBay for Best Offer, never thought I’d own a Professional Espresso Machine for $300 that came with a boatload of additional gear.

Did that $300 deal include the Rocky?
I've settled for a Nespresso, but if I drank anywhere near as much espresso as you apparently do, Banjo, I'd definitely be getting a semi-automatic espresso maker. I do a Chemex, V60, woodneck, or Kalita pourover every morning and only use two 12-oz bag of beans every month, but my wife is a tea drinker.
Sadly, I only get coffee with my pipe when my wife leaves early. I get the stinkeye if I light up before midday. Not worth it to argue and in the end, but it's for the best.
