My day starts with a nice cup of latte. I had a Breville machine for 3 years that I bought for $500 and sold it yesterday for $600🤣
I want to get something nicer. Is it too much to spend $2500 on a home espresso setup?

Highly recommend a Rocket Appartamento

The rocket grinder is amazing, its bit too expensive but just damn good design to complement the setup 👍

And here I thought I overspent with my $19.99 Sunbeam coffee maker from Walmart.

YouTube --> James Hoffman.

James is awesome and has a lot of knowledge in the field. He's won world brewing competitions, has been involved in a ton of coffee related businesses (and has even founded a few), and he has lots of technical knowledge about coffee roasting, brew methods, and brewing machine mechanics.

I'm not into following personalities on YouTube, or even going on YouTube without a specific video in mind, but this channel has accelerated my coffee knowledge and hobby by leaps and bounds. Worth a follow if you're interested in a new (and expensive) hobby.

Second the Rocket Appartamento! You can also find an Italian company that will sell to you. Was way less expensive vs buying from Whole Latte Love etc

I have the Nespresso mini so my coffee game is above peasant level (joke) but def not nearly in the same ballgame as this entire thread.

Jura. Go big or go home.

I don't have one, but I always tell myself the coffee tastes better when I have a cup from my friend's machine.

If you think Jura makes a good cup then you don’t know eat good expression is. I have Terri Jura and they both make decent shots. It’s the best for a fully auto, but doesn’t compare to what OP is asking

Do it!

Thanks maube I buy an Apartmento, use it for few years and sell it off for another upgrade 🤣

The Beville Oracle Touch is perfect if you want something that heats up reasonable quickly (~10 min) and is super easy. Way better than dealing with the cleaning mess with any fully automatic. I would have gone for a separate grinder/machine combo, but my wife loves how easy it is to make her latte when she's getting the kids ready in the morning.

I just got a Gaggia Velasca Prestige and it has been great. Around $800

OP if you have the cash…go for what you love! Coffee is an everyday thing so I think it’s absolutely justified to spend what you want. Enjoy!

Wait a minute, you’re saying I could make a profit on my 4 yr old Breville Barista Pro? I also bought it for about $550 😂

Yes, I bought it for 484 and now its price is 700, so sold it for 600 since i had all the manuals, boxes and packaging- seemed too new to the buyer 😊

like

Marzocco or go home!

More like $5k+ though. Guess one can dream 😄

Linea mini can be found for around $5k.

Still incredibly expensive, but probably more reliable than cheaper options on the market.

I’d like to get one a some point, but will probably be another couple of years.

I have a terrakaffe I am a fan not as manual as some of the others but makes a great cup of coffee

Philips automatic espresso machine is my dream machine (can range from 599-999 depending on the model)

Nothing like an old skoolncharm of turning the knobs

I also recommend the rocket. It's beautiful lol

Got both of them for under 2 grand.
