Breville 870XL
Goes on sale periodically for $400-450. Set an alert on Slickdeals

Nespresso, origaline ones

Originaline, apologies for the misspelling. The one with the small capsules

Gonna need an idea of what "affordable" means to you. Happy to give guidance on the best value at any price point, but that can span from under $100 to over $1000...

Trying to stay under $300

Flair espresso maker is a fully manual espresso maker. No electricity and setup/cleanup will take a but more time than other more expensive machines, but espresso quality is good
