I don't think you're giving the recent years of IEM revolution credit.

All the $20 chi-fi like Chu, Wan'er, Zero have smoked the former $100ish classics like GR07 away.

$75–150 has been eaten up by Moondrop and others too. Shure's SE series and Westone, among others, have been eclipsed by this range.

I liked the $350ish IEM range myself earlier, which was considered just mid-fi earlier but now gets you pretty top-end performance.

That’s the spirit. I love a V60 or Chemex, and used to be happy with a quick and dirty aeropress daily in lieu of those, but a super auto makes those redundant very quickly.

Doesn’t need to be a Jura necessarily. I’ve got a budget Magnifica Evo from De Longhi which makes equally good espressos (and thus americanos) as my Jura ENA 8. The difference is in the ease of making milk drinks and some maintenance.

Believe me, the super auto pays for itself very quickly!
