It's to chill espressohttps://thebasicbarista.com/en-us/products/coffee-alive-extract-chilling-ball
Damn, ya got there before me.
I feel this is a hobby where people can get into obsessing about all the toys and trinkets. From the outside I assume it looks really embarrassing haha
Clearly you've never had a hobby

I do appreciate the aesthetics of having Espresso as a hobby. Bit too pricy for me tho, I'll stick with my $5 Moka pot lol::: spoiler I went fairly hard down the espresso rabbit hole, lelit Mara x v2, niche zero, handful of accessories. I like it, but it 100% isn't as the aesthetic portrays. It's more comppicated and the learning curve is steep. You may luck into a few good pulls, but it just takes time.
I don't regret it, but I still absolutely love a V60 brew. With espresso I find myself rushing the process to get a coffee. The ritual of a pour over never left me feeling more irritated than when I started.
Your list of worries are a lot lower as well, am I scaling up to inside, do I need to lubricate my cams, how dirty is it under thr shower screen, etc... :::
Yup!
I've never even had an espresso ever but I've heard about this
