A worn pine side table against an aged plaster wall, used as a coffee station in a rented room: a small stainless machine and a plain grinder, a cup on its saucer, a jar of beans and a folded cloth, a woven mat on the bare wooden floor, low afternoon light

The Stilosa Espresso Machine and the Encore ESP Grinder

Nothing else in the plan does anything until this is on the counter. It is also the only line we would price to the dollar, and only while a price is still inside our two-day window.

Not on this plan

The Stagg EKG Electric Kettle

It belongs to another way of brewing, or to a habit you may never pick up. It stays here, struck through, so you know we considered it rather than forgot it.

A long open counter of pale concrete along a bare plastered wall with nothing mounted above it: a plain machine with a bean hopper on top, a mug, a folded cloth and a jar of beans, open shelves beneath the counter, a window at the far end

One last thing before you order.

Confirm the depth of the Encore ESP Grinder. Two published sources give different figures, so we don't use either. Depth decides whether it sits inside the counter's edge.

Why the price disappears tomorrow

We keep the shop, the page and the moment for every price. After two days the number is a story about the past, so we stop telling it and send you to look. Nothing about the machine changed; what changed is how much we are willing to claim.

Returns and stock

No listing's return policy has been checked, so we will not describe one. Stock moves faster than we can watch it; the shop's own page is the truth. The newest stock observation on record is for the Encore ESP Grinder, in stock, recorded by hand, on 10 September 2026.

What every picture on this site is

We keep a record of where a factual picture of each machine exists and on what basis it could be used. Of the three here, for two a manufacturer's picture is on record; for one none was found. For none of them is a basis for using that picture recorded, and a picture on a public product page is not a licence. We will not draw one instead: a picture under a product name, beside a price, is a claim about that product, and a drawing cannot carry it. The photographs are rooms we commissioned; where equipment stands in one it stands for the kind of thing that lives on a counter, and it is never the model a row is about. No photograph here is captioned with a product, priced, or offered as a picture of what you would buy. The drawing beside a product is, and it says so on its own rule.
