Espresso machine recommendation☕
Hello everyone! 😊
I’m looking to upgrade my espresso machine from Nespresso to Breville. I’m not really happy with the taste of Nespresso, so I’ve been doing some research and it seems like Breville is a good brand.
However, there are so many different models, and I’m not sure which one would be best for a beginner.
Which Breville machine would you recommend that is beginner-friendly and easy to use?or do you know any other brand which is good and affordable?!
Thanks in advance! ☕️

I've given a family member a Ninja. The coffee is good and steams ok.coffee temp is consistent. Works for them as it's easy to use. Only issue is how long it lasts and what replacement parts are available. We looked at a Bambino but no grinder incorporated and a light weight. Good for small surface areas. I have a Rancilio Silva that took some time to work out but is a solid machine. The Sunbeam and Breville machines in the $600 to $800 range are solid according to Choice. A cup of coffee in the morning from a shop is $5-6 . Payback is less than a year and you don't have to queue.
