I have been contemplating getting an expresso machine for home as I seem to be spending lots of $$$ on takeaway coffee. I am as far from a coffee connoisseur as you could imagine - I am generally happy with any takeaway coffee that I receive and like to have flavoured syrup in it (I know that will horrify the purists on this forum). I guess what Im saying is that I have no plans to roast my own beans or get too complicated about things. I do however want a machine that will make up to 4 cups a day and that will last. The following is a list of the ones available at my local electrical retailers:
DeLonghi Magnifica ($688)
Sunbeam Cafe Series $800
Breville 800 Classic ($599)
Saeco Talea ($996 reduced from $1449)
Breville Expresso 800ES ($399 reduced from $599)
Breville Semi automatic ($549 reduced from $749)
Sunbeam Cafe Series $795 reduced from $1099)
Then there is of course the Rancilio Silvia which I see mentioned a lot with some very good reviews.
Any opinions would be greatly received.
