I’ll be getting into making espresso, sewing, and probably poker to keep the gambling itch going

Sounds like a solid lineup! For espresso, have you thought about getting a good grinder? It really makes a difference.

And poker is always a fun way to keep your mind sharp—maybe try some online games or join a local club to meet new people. What kind of espresso machine are you considering?
