Hi all, I always liked coffee but for the last year or so I’ve actually started looking into the brewing side of things. I’ve experimented with some good home brewers. My favorite so far is the Aeropress.
Anyway, I think I’m ready to get my first espresso machine. I’m a student, so kinda tight on budget. Around $500 is what I can spend on it right now. Can the more experienced people give me some suggestions? I’m happy to get a second hand machine if that’s a reliable option.
Or should I just wait a few more months and save more money? Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
Totally. I’ve kind of gotten into a groove with it, but other people think I’m a little nuts. It’s fun and you can dial it in, but there’s a decent learning curve to get there. Most of my friends see it and are fascinated by it, and then are like, “nah, I would never do that.” 😂
Same 😂 Most of mine are like “This is some really good coffee, but I’m not sure it’s worth it” too… Most of them are nespresso or superauto users tho.
I managed to convince one single friend who was an Aeropress diehard, he ended up buying a Cafelat Robot 😂
Spoiler alert, it’s totally worth it.
