Hi all, my first post, longtime lurker first time poster.
Newbie Background
I started over a year ago with a small electric hotplate at my work desk and a percolator, one large (for office morning teas), one medium (for my soup bowl sized mug). I have a sweet-tooth immature pallette and cant really taste a "good" or "bad" and being cheap and tasteless I use the cheapest pre-ground 250g vac packs available from the supermarket. I am far from the coffee snob standards held here! I love the steam noise finish to the percolator, and its more than just the result drink that makes it a habit for me.
Im looking for a home espresso maker also to be used by the gf. Her work seems to have a cheap Breville 3.5bar kind of unit, she has figured it out and likes the result. Despite my relative lack of coffee standards, I just cant bring myself to just pay $60-70 for one of those though. I blame this forum!
Looking for in a new machine
The Presso is on my list as it will give an espresso so quickly and easily. I want an individual steamer for milk froth, my manager has one of the old Kambrook "Mr. Cappucino" units that creates steam he may sell me.
Id like to consider the Presso against a $300 machine, simple/rhobust/reliable, that does 1 or 2 cups, and has a decent steamer (Id like to play with lattes)
Thanks in advance!
Stoveboy.
