Making espresso with my semi-auto Breville Infuser is almost exactly as much fuss as a pour-over:

- Turn it on to heat up - Grind the beans - Weigh the grounds - Fill, tamp, and attach the portafilter - Start the infusion - Remove and dump the grounds - Clean the portafilter

It's a $600 electronic device, not a simple funnel and filter, but it's not a fussy process.
