Home-brewed coffee doesn't taste as good as café coffee

Hi everyone! Not too long ago I bought a nicer coffee machine that grinds the beans and brews the coffee for you with hopes I can save money while having the best coffee possible.

Don't get me wrong, the coffee is still great, but for some reason I can't get it to taste the same as café coffee (even when I use the exact same beans). I'm not sure if I'm maybe missing something or it's just some sort of placebo?

Any tips or advice would be appreciated!!!

Tried Esmeralda Geisha

I love coffee, i’ll start with that. I have a regular that comes into my cigar lounge that does well for himself. I bring him shots of espresso on occasion and he recently surprised me with a 100g bag of Esmaralda Geisha. I usually make espresso but with such a small bag I did aeropress with the fellow prismo attachment. I know it’s crazy expensive but it honestly was the best cup of coffee i’ve ever had. The peach notes were dominant and incredible. I’ve never had a coffee where the description was so accurate. I get cherry and chocolate a lot with espresso, the usual. But this coffee just blew my mind. I have 88 grams left so the question is, what can I do to get the full potential out of these beans?

I have the current brewers/grinders

Brewers
Oxo rapid brewer
Aeropress with fellow prismo attachment (as stated above)
Hario V-60
Breville Bambino (IMS triple shot basket, stock basket)

Grinders
