Question: What is a good espresso machine under $100?

(Posted by: Razier111 on 2010-01-09 14:01:36)

I love coffe and I am tired of going to sheets and spending five dollars on just one cup. I have been very interested in an expresso machine and was wondering if any of you know a very nice one for under one- hundred dollars. I would like one that steams milk also if that is available in this price rands. Thank you very much in advanced.

I think you could find a lot of different ones under $100. My mom found one that works great at a garage sale actually! She only paid around $10 for it!

There's no decent machine for that price & a used one would still cost more if it were any good. Instead, look at a stove-top moka pot. It's my most common way (out of seven) to brew coffee/ espresso espressozone.com/ vev-vigano-kontessa-oro-stainless-espresso-pot-6965.aspx This is the only moka pot that actually makes crema for an authentic espresso good for lattes as well (need crema to make latte art). espressozone.com/ bialetti-brikka-stovetop-espresso-maker-8964.aspx Even if you were to buy a espresso machine, you'd need an expensive grinder to make the coffee fine enough. That alone would blow your budget, but moka pots use regular ground coffee (although you'd still want to use espresso blends for the best flavor results.
