I’m looking for the best at home espresso machine. Something that isn’t a thousand dollars. I just want good tasting espresso without going to the coffee shop every day. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
This is gonna be a long post but I need your help…!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi everyone, first time posting! I am looking into getting an espresso machine soon and I cannot decide which one is the best bang for my buck!
The first one (Thyme & Table) has been on my eye for a solid year HOWEVER, with further research I see its durability isn’t the greatest because it’s made of plastic and I guess the espresso is inconsistent. The reason why I liked this one so much is cause it’s simple and affordable!
So I started looking at Chefman and it’s more durable than Thyme & Table but it apparently has issues with the grinder and not as durable as well.
THEN I went down a rabbit hole…
I ended up just looking at my dream machine the Breville and my husband said we could talk about getting it even though it’s pricey but it lasts longer! But my problem with all of these machines (including the Ninja Luxe) is all in one espresso machines seem to be less durable and I’m having a hard time justifying spending hundreds of dollars on a espresso machine that could break down 🫣
I am also leaning towards the Ninja Luxe but again, all in ones seem to have this breaking down issue…
So another option for longevity and consistent espressos was the Breville Bambino with that Baratza grinder, but I like the idea of an all in one 🫣🤣😭
Do you guys have experience with any of these espresso machines? Did you have any issues? Which one would you get?
Bottom line, I am willing to splurge on a good machine, I would like to go for a more affordable one but if we are comparing longevity, that is most important to me as I don’t want to have to have an issue with the machine one day (with in 5 years) and have to replace it 😵💫 also! I plan on getting a regular coffee pot so I am not constantly abusing the espresso machine LOL!
I am a retired Keurig user… I don’t ever want to own one ever again lol
Thanks for reading!!!
Im currently running a small business with limited revenue and trying to decide if hiring a part time bookkeeper is actually worth the cost or if I should just handle the books myself for now.
