What one Redditor said

If you want an all in one machine then look the Breville barista express or impress. I bought the Express on sale at Amazon last week for $549. I think it's an excellent starter set-up.

An all in one Breville or something sure, but this..? It’s fucking insane. $2000+ gift.

Okay, second recommendation of the Gaggia. I guess it’s time to make a list and check it twice. Thank you! You have no idea how much I want a good espresso at home.

But don’t get a all in one machine, if you get enthusiastic it won’t last you a long time and you’ll throw away money. If you do want a all in one get a used breville.

Understood, this is great advice! I will take a look at the Profitec & Mignon. I probably should have prefaced that I only drink espresso shots.

Run, run away from this machine as fast as you can. It is a cheap Chinese knock-off and should be avoided.

Please don’t buy that, it was never 2k and 450 is high. My vote is to get an entry level grinder: 1. DF54 2. Baratza Encore 3. Shardor 64mm Wildcard: King Grinder K6 (manual) Then a machine: 1. Turi

If you want an all in machine, the og (breville barista) is available for much less than this knockoff and it’s actually good.

Gaggia Classic and Eureka specialità is what I have, and can vouch for both as solid purchases. If you went that route, especially as you don't need to steam consecutive (or any) milk drinks, I think

Don’t buy espresso machine with integrated grinder, especially at this budget. I have been looking into a new setup to replace my Breville Barista Express with similar budget...

r/espressoneutral2

I actually have a version of this white labeled machine that I’ve been using for about 3 years almost everyday, though I only paid like $250 for it at Walmart. At $440, absolutely not. Surprisingly it

Check our espressocoffeeshop website, super low prices (but keep in mind tariffs, they are in Italy)

I wouldn’t get this machine or breville/sage machines. I had sage barista pro and it’s group head leaked water, apparently its screws lose and I opened it up put some lock tide, it worked for a while

If you read this forum you most likely will come down to the kitchenaid kf series or delonghi eletta explore. For the requirements you put, I would consider a kf7 at 999us. The eletta explore is also

I’m partial to the KitchenAid series. I’ve been fortunate enough to own or try a few of the major brands and found that KitchenAid offers the best blend of cost, performance, and maintenance. The Delo
