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?

I have owned a La Spaziale S1 for many years.  It is a simple, long lasting machine that has everything you need for home use.  Very durable. 
 

I also roast my own coffee.  Have you tried a French press?  With fresh roasted coffee you get the best flavors from the  coffee bean oils.  These oils evaporate within two weeks after the roast and best enjoyed through a French press.  How deep do you want to go down the coffee rabbit hole?  😂
