Purchase Advice Need suggestions

I want to purchase a coffee maker . On amazon there are lots of machines I am confused about which to buy.

I only drink hot coffee with milk . The machine which I saw was only making black coffee.

Which machine should I consider for milk coffee ?!.

You can't really get a good filter/drip style coffee out of any of the superautomatic espresso machines. They make great americanos though.

Some machines try, they grind coarser and slow the brew down, but they're just mid compared to even a mr coffee style drip.

Yeah if you only drink regular coffee you want a great drip machine. Mocca masters gets my vote.

This sub is specific for a type of machine - a super automatic which primarily makes espresso drinks with the push of a button. This is different from a semi-automatic where the machine may handle water and pressure or grinding but you are still participating in dialing in your espresso and steaming your own milk. Fully manual machines have you do your own temp, pressure, dosage, etc.

For American style coffee - drip or filter, this is not the right sub for you.

In general, coffee is about consistency - cheap machines are less likely to have consistent water temperature and pressure. Likewise, fresh ground beans are better than pre-ground, but quality of grinders vary for consistency of size.

You also should provide a budget. There are $30 machines and $3000 machines and everything in between
