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

I’m not totally convinced that “cheap” and “best” always go together, especially with espresso machines…more like “cheap and good enough.” That said, there are some super affordable options if you’re not worried about frothing milk and just want something that will pull a decent shot. I’ve seen manu

Casabrews is a decent budget option, but I was happy to spend more and went with a Breville Bambino. It makes such good coffee, so I have been very impressed with it. A good way to compare is by using the coffee machine comparison sheet on Barista HQ dot com. This sheet has all the coffee machine br

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

I saw it for sale on my local Adverts for 30 quid after the the DeLonghi I loathed finally went to a well-dese

There is a portion of the market that is very price sensitive. And for them a $130 machine is something they CAN afford, vs. a $200 machine that they cannot afford. The other factor is, the low price gets people who otherwise would NOT buy an espresso machine to buy one. If I were a college student,

I personally enjoy lattes with espresso, which unfortunately can’t really be made at home without the proper equipment. The only problem is that decent espresso machines are expensive. I’m a SAHM so I found that I couldn’t afford daily coffees or an espresso machine (without saving). So I did some r

Listen, I’m relatively new but I have the casabrews CM5418. I’m also a working college student so I couldn’t really justify anything super high priced. It’s about $130 on Amazon but I got it on sale for $100. I like it a lot, and I think it’s great for beginners! Definitely making good espresso, bet
