Poor Man’s Dual Boiler

I always wonder why more people don't do that.Even if you'd buy two brand new Rancilio Silvia and use one exclusively for steam and the other one for Espresso it would be still cheaper than a wide range of dual boiler... The only downside is shelf real estate and having to explain this brilliant ide

What would be your “one-and-done” espresso machine?

I think it will just depend on if my kids grow up to like espresso drinks, then I'm gonna need to get something dual boiler and maybe with a grind by weight grinder. Otherwise my Rancilio Silvia and Eureka Mignon Zero is perfect for making two drinks in the morning for my wife and I.

Ninja Luxe Cafe 4-in-1 or Breville Barista Express Impress? [$1,200]

I recommend stepping away from the all in ones. They compromise on quality for convenience. Look at, rancilio Silvia and a separate grinder, maybe df64 or niche zero. Almost every time, you’ll get better build quality and espresso quality from a separate grinder and machine.

Top espresso machines on Reddit by positive & negative comments - for tinkering vs beginners vs speed etc. Based on 725 posts in the past year (Mar 2026)

Man, my Rancilio Silvia with the GaggiaMate upgrade changed my coffee-life completely. Can't recommend enough, though the Silvia is tough to tinker with (not enough room for big hands, had to get my youngins' involved).

Breville Barista Express Impress vs KitchenAid Semi-Automatic [$500–900]

Between the two of those, go with the Breville. KitchenAid is not a recommended brand on this sub. That said, all-in-one devices are generally not recommend here. You'd be better off going with a separate brewer/grinder, as it makes sure you don't have a half-functional machine when the built-in gri

First machine.

I had that one. Great one to start on. I moved up to Rancilio Silvia v4. But you’ll love that DeLonghi.

I'm in need of a new coffee machine!

Agree, level up to Rancilio Silvia Rocky grinder combo from altura coffee in Auckland, 2 grand. I don't work for them but the service was great.

Recommendations for a new coffee machine, Budget [£400]

If you liked the Bambino, you could always get another one. The Turin Legato/MiiCoffee Apex also occupies a similar niche but offers better hardware and some amazing features, so it would be a good pick. If you want the next one to last much longer than 6 years you could get a Gaggia Classic Pro E24

Ich möchte meine Espresso-Ecke upgraden. Welche Maschine und Mühle könnt ihr empfehlen?

Lelit Mara X wurde ja schon erwähnt. Ansonsten Rancilio Silvia gebraucht, PID dranknallen oder Gagguino Mod, Mühle Eureka/ Niche Zero/ Df64 wären so meine Rechercheergebnisse der letzten Monate. Hab selbst ne stark gemoddete Rancilio und die kann schon was aber eben Einkreiser
