Buying advice

Prioritize equipment that stores flat or in a drawer. A hand grinder plus one small brewer keeps the whole setup under one square foot of counter.

FAQ

What's the smallest complete setup?

A hand grinder + AeroPress — about the size of a large book.

Is espresso feasible in a studio?

Yes — the Bambino or Dedica are genuinely compact; just budget for a grinder.
