Not surprised to see espresso machine topic. They have a lot in common with audio equipment. Prices range from cheap to the stratosphere. The best espresso machines are Italian made. They are heavy duty and last forever. They pull consistently good espresso shots. At 65 yrs old, I am on my fourth machine. Increasing quality with each purchase (sound familiar?). I currently have a Bezzera BZ10. Great machine. I enjoy two cups every morning. https://www.myespressoshop.com/products/bezzera-bz10-commercial-espresso-machine-pm-semi-automatic-tank-v2?srsltid=AfmBOorVI6-Esk3SgHVVJjifXmofQLfsw2q41zclG6K1eC9roob6x_qb
OT: Espresso machines
I know this is off topic for the A'gon, but I thought my fellow gear enthusiasts had an opinion. I'm looking for a simple, narrow espresso machine. Reliability is important. I have a Nespresso Vertuo which I really like but lately I've been roasting my own coffee and wanted a more traditional machine.
Opinions?
