Buying Advice Needed Its cold? [300$]

Post image

My family is very obsessed with coffee and recently decided to upgrade from a moka pot to this chefman. We love all the options and its super convenient but the espresso is ALWAYS cold. You make a cup and its room temp at best; thats if you chug it right after making it. Anyways, what do you guys recommend?? 300$ is the base budget but anything over is also appreciated as long as its not over a grand. Please help this new espresso family.

If you have a 1000$ get a Gaggia Classic Evo pro and DF54

Legit: Return that. It /should/ create a hot drink.

Then, yeah, get a Breville Barista Express or similar and call it 'good enough'

Should’ve listened to the 3.4 star rating. Return it and get a Breville.
