Hi all,
You guys have probably heard this all too much, but I am after an espresso machine, my budget is around $500.
Im just looking for a decent cup of coffee for home, (I mainly drink lattes) I am absoulutely sick of instant coffee.
I have been reading through the forum all day trying to find one thats right for me, but my mind keeps changing.
I have a few models in mind at the moment, these are:
-Breville 800es
-Sunbeam EM6910
-PU5900 - I was leaning towards this one as it came with a grinder
-Saeco Via Vanezia
-Lelit pl51
I understand that a grinder is required to achieve a goodespresso, thats why I was leaning towards the PU5900, but then reading reviews on the EM5900 sort of detered me from it.
Note that I am willing to use supermarket pre-ground coffee for the time being if I were to reach my $500 budget from just the espresso machine. I will purchase a grinder later on.
Any advise would be much appreciated. I think I am getting a headache from all this research thats taking me around in circles. Time for a cup of coffee i think.
Cheers,
Jeremy
EDIT: I guess the main thing I am after right now is a machine that will last me a good few years and can make a decent cuppa.
