In the market for a good automatic espresso machine. Something that does the grind and the brew. Not one of those Kcup machines. Beans in, espresso out.
Anyone have one of these machines you love?

me low tech - no machines, only a copper coffee pot ( cezve ) to make Turkish coffee, so handy! and you can easily travel around with it.

True, that's a good and cheap option as well! As is a moka pot.

Just saw a moka the other day. Forgot about it until now.

Yeah, I'm low tech now. Have been for years but considering getting more automatic after using a friend's system in his office.

or maybe learning to make more healthier drinks other than coffee? 🙊
I'm once again cleaning up my belongings - the things you own end up owning you, really! now I feel free to do whatever again after getting rid of many unpractical things.

Coffee is pretty healthy TBH (AFAIK, I'm certainly no nutritional expert), provided you don't add sugar or syrups or other BS in it. You can even upgrade your coffee w/ butter & MCT oil :)

one of the benefits I noticed is it helps you to poop 👀

Used to be a coffee machine salesman. Don't buy the fully automatic ones, they're crap IMO. They don't do a "real" espresso. These Breville machines are a fair price/quality ratio for home use: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BvCt6eAFL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg

Are the Breville's the fully automatic ones you say to avoid? Or are you saying you recommend them? Thanks.

Breville is what I recommend. It's not fully automatic, you still have to manually fill and use the portafilter. The ones that are "press one button and you're done" i.e. the JURA machines, are what you should avoid. https://id.jura.com/-/media/global/images/home-products/e-line-2020/e8-eb-piano-black-15355/e8_eb_pb_15355_overview.webp?mw=350&hash=A505986508CBEACF81F27E78BFF97446

No problem! No I'm not familiar with this particular brand.
