Question: What coffee maker would you suggest buying?

So I have hated coffee all my life. That is, until I went to a friends house and had a latte. She said it was because I'd only ever had instant coffee and the likes and fresh is so much better. Since then, it is my favorite drink- anything with fresh coffee- but I want to start making my own. My friend works at a little italian coffee shop in town and buys her beans from there because she gets a discount and has offered to let me use it too. She's given me a couple of little bits and bobs that she had(such as a coffee bean grinder and a milk foamer) but now I need to buy an expresso machine. What would you suggest? I haven't got much money but I decided it would be cheaper than constantly going to that coffee shop(£2- £3 per cup). what would you suggest is the best value. I know you get what you pay for, but I just want to know what would be the best quality machine for the lowest price that you know of. Thankyou :)

Instant coffee can not compare to the real thing for sure. I have found the Cuisinart EM-100 1000-Watt 15-Bar Espresso Maker, Stainless Steel by Cuisinart regular $270.00 on sale for $118.19 has great reviews for the price. Not knowing your price range, there are several to choose from at coffeeseekers.com Espresso makers start at around 29.00 and up. Check the site out, you can also see all reviews for each espresso maker Good luck!.

I was the same way! Now I don't want to leave the house without my latte! I purchased an inexpensive machine but looked through a lot of reviews to find the best machine for my money. I chose the DeLonghi EC155 because of the brand, price and features. It also is ESE certified for pod use which means that you can also use those handy pods for a fast and no hassle coffee or tea! From all the reviews I read, this machine was the best value all around and it had high customer satisfaction.

Cappucino's for me, once a night while I work, I suggest the Tassimo coffee maker, the have starbucks disc's that are spot on. I wrote this recommendation here hubpages.com/ _hpinfo/ hub/ Bosch-Tassimo-Single-Serve-Coffee-Brewer
