Why Bosnia of all places? You could have said Turkish coffee, infamous for it's powder grind boiling in little water for an espresso-style drink. I boil my coffee at home and don't use a machine and I'm not in Bosnia.
Machines really do suck, they're designed for the "quick and convenient" and generally doesn't have enough wattage to bring the water to a boil, which is essential for drawing the flavor out of the grinds. So people end up with underextracted coffee, that's why they go to Tim Horton's or Starbucks and cluelessly question "why does this taste so much better than my home brewed coffee?"
