Best Espresso Machine?

We live in a small town, and the best coffee we can find is at Tim Hortons and Irvings – No Startbucks Cafe Mocha for us! We want to purchase a good espresso machine that will make great espresso and do a great job frothing Milk – Which Espresso machine do you think is best?

tip: buy the most expensive machine & grinder that you can afford.

a cheap machine will always find the shortest path to the trash, and really is a waste of money

then you have to decide where you want to sit on the convenience vs quality curve. i have no problem with people who want maximum convenience and opt for a Nespresso style machine, just dont tell me that it makes great coffee, that’s all

at the other extreme you have manual lever & spring lever machines, the most familiar being the La Pavoni machines, which sometimes give lever machines a bad name as they are not the ‘Rolls Royce’ of lever machines, but are very attractive to look at. Lever machines do take time to master, but i will argue long and hard that they still produce the best espresso, even if the results are less consistent than a good electric pump machine. There is also less to go wrong & no pump noise. I would be the first to concede that they arent the weapon of choice for knocking out 10 cappuccinos for a dinner party in a hurry, but then what single group home machine is?

next up you have manual machines with electric pumps and simple on/off operation, then semi-autos & fully-auto, then a bean to cup machine where the grinder & everything is built into one machine, an example being the Jura range.

the thing to keep in mind with a coffee machine is it needs to do a lot more than just look good. it needs to provide thermal stability at the group head and provide years of robust service, and be easy to clean. often less is more, but what is there needs to be of the highest quality
