3700E

Is the difference really that big between expensive machines? i was eyeing a casabrew 3700, it seems like a good budget option but i don't really want to regret a bad purchase...How much better would one of these be? I'm not a hardcore coffee lover, just want a machine for myself since i wanna switc

Breville and Casabrews are really great. This post helped me

for a compact setup like yours i'd say the casabrews 3700 stays pretty close to the dedica in size but the stainless steel build makes it comparatively more reliable. runs at 20 bar pressure and the steam wand can actually make proper microfoam which makes a huge difference for lattes compared to th

I believe Keurig falls short in the brew temp. I mean yes, you would get a nice warm cup of coffee but if you were lucky enough to have one of the older models like the K150 or K155, you could see the difference.

20 bar which I’ve read is much better quality This is totally false. The best espresso is brewed at around 9 bar. Better quality machines use an over-pressure valve to limit the maximum pressure to 9 bar. Cheap machines like this omit the over-pressure valve and blast the coffee with full pump press

Under $200, you’re mostly not café-level espresso territory and that’s fine. The Delonghi Dedica is probably your safest bet. Heats up quick, small footprint, forgiving with pressurized baskets. Steam wand’s meh but works. Casabrews and other Amazon brands can be okay too, just super hit or miss. If

Firstly welcome ! Secondly search this sub for many past similar posts. Espresso making equipment is expensive ! $100 is impossible if you are wanting to use what they call an unpressurised basket - which is superior in taste to a pressurised one - because you don’t have the budget for a grinder (a

Honestly the casabrews is great. Heats up in 30 seconds. Expensive espresso machines are overrated. The grinder is the most important thing.
