Deinfluence me - Espresso machine
A daily coffee will pay for a Breville Barista Express in about 6 months. You’ll need to learn about how to make espresso based drinks such as dialling in the grinder and steaming milk. Risks include buying expensive beans and more coffee equipment.

Buying Advice Needed [$360]
I'm guessing you're in the states? If you're scouting for these types of clearance deals, I'd check around TjMaxx, Marshalls, and Home goods. You might be able to score a Breville bambino, bambino plus, barista express, barista pro, or even one of the touch/oracles but those are significantly more.

First time buyer, long time espresso lover [$1000]
At your price point its a bit of a compromise. Breville Barista Express is fine, an easy and convenient workflow but at some point you will want to another grinder. But for 1k us you can only buy thermoblock or single boiler machines. Do you want pre-owned? Id go Gaggia Classic Pro / Rancilio Silvia

At This Price, Nespresso Is Getting Hard to Justify
Actually, I started by grinding my own beans, pero French press and drip coffee lang. I was really close to buying a Breville Barista Express when it was still 40k+ before the pandemic, but we ended up choosing the Nespresso Lattissima Touch because it could already make lattes, it was more convenie

Breville Barista or Ninja Luxe Cafe [$500]
Breville Barista is not very automated. You will still be learning to dial in. The core of it is pretty much a Bambino with an okay grinder attached. The fact that they are a single machine only has the benefit of freeing up an outlet and maybe looking a bit more stream lined. If you want automated

Sage Barista Pro (built-in Baratza grinder) – worth upgrading to a separate grinder?
I did almost like you did for my first setup I got a Breville Infuser and Baratza Encore ESP pro. Reason why I got the Infuser over BBP (Breville Bambino Plus) is because I wanted the expresso machine with PID controller for brewing temperature control so I could dial in all kinds of roast and it’s

Upgrade from Breville [$4000]
I was espresso making nerd mode for a few days hahaha. Thought about many things… When you choose high-end machines, it’s about… How serious you want to be since you will spend a lot of money. If you want to be serious like nerd then Decent will be the machine since you can change brew temperature d

What espresso machine did you start on, and would you recommend it to a beginner today?
Breville barista express. Yes and no, yes because ideally it’s not a bad starter machine, but no because as your knowledge of espresso accumulates, you’ll realize a bambino and a decent grinder is the better option.

I’ve just been humbled.
I also just made the jump to the Profitec (Ride) family from Breville (BBE), such a massive difference in workflow but it's been so fun! I hope you get into the swing of it with your new machine :)
