Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill?

For example, I'm sure the average joe doesn't know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.

Meh, the coffee machinery is more of a show-off between people who can afford it.

You can get very decent espresso with a $150 portafilter. It’s the beans that make the difference. And even while good beans cost some money, they are totally affordable to normies.

Also the grinder is important, probably more so than the machine.

But even then it’s important to have a grinder, not some random scrambler. Is totally affordable.
