Care to elaborate?

It's impractical for home use because real espresso machines are expensive. Espresso grinders are expensive. It's very hard to go through a pound of espresso beans in two weeks unless you are making dozens of espressos a day. Espresso machines need to be regularly serviced.

And espresso does require finer control over grind size, evenness, water temperature and water pressure than other brewing methods do.

I used to have a San Marco espresso machine and grinder, so I know first hand.
