Beginner Friendly machine [$200]
Don’t let anyone tell you you have to spend more than $200. Casabrews 5418 or 5418 pro is your answer. Been using that for about 4 months twice daily with my DF54 and it’s been great.

Beginner question:what espresso machines are actually simple + long-lasting?
temp stability + parts that don’t fall apart are the big ones. as a beginner you just want something that works the same every day.i got the casabrews 5418 for that reason,super straightforward to use when you’re new.

Need help finding portafilter and puck screen size
The automatic milk frother on the Bella Pro may be an ease-of-use improvement (at least until you have to clean it), but your 5418 is a better quality espresso machine with much greater availability of aftermarket parts. You might want to consider returning the Bella Pro and getting more stuff to us

Buying advice for at home lattes [$500]
I have the most basic gear that you can get and I haven't had a reason to upgrade yet. Casabrews Tornado and Casabrews CM 5418. One day I'm sure I'll upgrade to a nice 58mm machine but this combo has worked great for me so far. My savings allowed me to buy upgrades and a nice knock box. All upgrades
