Stilosa

The grinder matters more than the machine, and you should budget a decent amount for that too. You also will likely need to budget $100-150 or so for accessories like a scale, decent tamper, distribution tools, and in some cases a nicer portafilter and basket. Some recommended combos: De’Longhi Stil

Actually, that De'Longhi Stilosa is a perfectly fine machine. The Opus (as a former owner) also has very good grinding capabilities, but will eventually drive you crazy with retention issues. Most of us develop the "Opus rock" where you violently rock the machine back and forth and pump the lid whil

Some minor suggestions to improve your table: Stilosa's price did spike up to $150 when US tariffs first kicked in, but more recently stabilized around $100, making Stilosa a great value for the money. It's easily upgradable for non-pressurized brewing. You can also bundle in DeLonghi's ECP series m

I can only answer for the consumer machines - usually the better ones have full metal hot water path. The cheapest to have that would be perhaps DeLonghi Stilosa if you're looking for one. Nonetheless cold water intake and water container are plastic. I would obviously prefer it wasn't, but as long

That was exactly my situation a year ago. I would strongly advise you to get a DeLonghi ECP or Stilosa for its stainless steel boiler and overall durability. Any model would do since they have the same internals, so just go with what you find on sale or, even better, second-hand. As for the grinder,

If new: De'Longhi ECP or Stilosa (any version will do since they have the same internals; I’d recommend the one with the most external metal parts for easier cleaning and durability) KINGrinder K6, Timemore C5 ESP, or 1Zpresso Q / Q Air If used: Sage/Breville Bambino Baratza Encore ESP That’s roughl

You need a grinder for sure. You simply aren’t going to get what you’re looking for if you’re not grinding fresh. Anything that advertises being an “all-in-one” setup is going to come with hidden downsides that you might not be experienced enough to understand. Luckily grinders are a relatively simp
