Yes like others have said get the delonghi. I got my dinamica from amazon with 3 year warranty for like $450. It was refurbed but it’s been working fine for the past 2 months cranking out 20 espressos per day.
I have this dinamica cranking out 20 single shots PER DAY at my hair salon. It makes very good espresso. I think it’s the closest thing I have tried to pulling your own shots with a regular espresso machine. I use the lavazza supercrema and I love it!
Call me crazy if you want, but hear me out 1st.
Youre going to be hard pressed to make coffee shop coffee from a cheap mr. Coffe drip style coffee machine.
My wife and i did the math and it was pretty shocking. We got a Delonghi with the milk dispenser and integrated grinder. It was not cheap, but it actually paid for itself quite quickly. Iirc it was less than a year. Remember, if the coffee isnt good or it doesnt come out the way you want it to, youll just go back to buying coffee. We went with the DeLonghi Dinamica.
Dont wright off the expensive machines just yet.
I looked at it. I ended up buying a DeLonghi super automatic instead. With the very convenient to use+clean milk carafe that comes with it for cappuccinos and milk-based drinks.
I can't speak on the quality of espresso he makes. I've tried a few machines before buying mine and I was happy with the DeLonghi dinamica . Knowing then what I know now, and how much we enjoy and use the machine, I would have probably splurged and got a KitchenAid kf7.
The big question is do you require a machine that makes milk-based drinks? Like cappuccino and lattes. Also looking after sales support. A lot of the gaskets o-rings, seals, etc. Will go after a few years of use. You want to make sure you get a machine that is easily serviceable by you or affordable to do by technician
For what it's worth after a bit of research I found that Delonghi is the safest bet, middle of the road brand. It's not a Philips but it's also not a jura. That's why I got a dinamica and if I like it enough after a few years (it's been 1 already) I will upgrade
