    What about manual lever espresso machines? That’s my daily driver!

    Edit: ignoring my own personal ideology, I think Manual Lever-Machines like the Flair, especially when paired with hand-grinders, are tactile, methodical, and focused on the means just as much as the ends. The actual experience and methodology is just as important as the espresso, it’s a ritualistic practice.

    As such, I think it’s more likely to represent a form of Anarchism, where the means themselves are ends. Marxism-Leninism is usually more representative of gradual processes towards a greater end, whereas Anarchism itself is concerned with the process itself being a good end.

    Just my 2 cents, I’d appreciate anyone else weighing in. It’s fun to combine espresso and leftist ideology, considering both are important to me!
