Do you like making espresso at home? - GoFuckYourself.com

AmeliaG · 03-27-2008, 08:38 PM

My espresso machine broke quite a while ago. Much as there are very pleasant coffeehouses where I live, I really really want to be able to use beans of my own choosing (microroasts and such) and have an iced latte without committing a minimum of half an hour to the enterprise. Beats me what machine to get. I had a Krups and it died.

The specs I want are pretty much pump driven (rather than steam which I had previously), won't break easily with moderate use, does not require effing pods. I prefer a brass or stainless steel boiler. Do not care if it froths well or heats milk well, as I prefer iced drinks or just espresso. Not a fan of pressurized portafilters but not deadset against them either. Do not need a built-in burr grinder. Do not need a built-in thermometer.

Anybody have an espresso machine recommendation?

I keep thinking I've settled on one and then reading the reviews over there and changing my mind. I'm hoping webmasters have coffee needs/tastes more in line with mine.

Krups is a good brand.

I had a Krups I liked, but it gave up the ghost and I'd sort of like something which could make a richer shot.

if your gonna go for it get the all inclusive ones that hold everything there are machines that will keep your milk cold grind your beans and measure it and make the coffee and dump the mess in a nice little bucket they are hot but very expensive

espresso is yummy
