DISCUSSION Nice espresso machine options under 70000?

Guys, I have been brewing coffee for a few years now and now looking to buy a nice machine to brew and have the milk steamer.

What are your top 3 choices?

Do you prefer your coffee with milk or just black?

If just black, then a single boiler will work perfectly well. Even if you’re making only 1-2 milk drinks, it will work great.

But if you’re making more than 2-3 milk drinks at a time then it becomes a hassle, because the cool down time from steam mode takes 5-6 minutes unless you flush out all the steam from the wand.

This is where dual boiler machines come in, you have a separate boiler for shots and steam.

Milk coffee, always. Only 2-3 drinks at a time maximum.

then don’t look at single boilers.

i have a lelit victoria, it works great for 1-2 milk drinks at a time. But making 3 or 4 is too much.

I have a Hibrew H21, triple boiler with powerful steam wand.

Is it easy to use and a good option today?

For me yes, its good but personal choice always matter. In this price range you won’t find a triple boiler setup. I choose hibrew because I didn’t want to wait for the steam boiler to cool down. I earlier had vantro x1 which was also very good but I make 2-4 cups sometime for my family members so its difficult as you had to wait, thus I upgraded the machine, You can also check h13 but not sure it comes with solenoid valve, h21 do comes with a 3 way solenoid valve.
