You forget to add in the price of the equipment. A coffee grinder alone can set you back $4000. An espresso machine can go up to $30,000

Sure, you can get cheaper equipment but does that give you the same quality as you get in a coffee shop that does use that kind of kit?

And there is the space requirement as well.

Whoa, where are you getting these prices from? An espresso made from a $2000 machine will taste exactly like an espresso made from a $30,000 machine XD

AFAIK the quality of the grinder makes a huge difference at least, especially for espresso.

As for the prices, example of a high-end coffee machine: https://www.simonelliusa.com/Black-Eagle

Cheaper equipment does give better coffee, yes.
