Espresso machines

Who has a really good espresso machine? What is it?
Not interested in pod machines - this is for me not DH and I am a raging coffee snob.

We love our Sunbeam one. Quite expensive but it is good as you can froth while you extract. And there are automatic buttons to press to extract a single or double shot if you don't want to do it manually. Ours came with a "free" grinder (also Sunbeam) which has been fantastic.

Me

About eight years ago I bought a Sunbeam Cafe Series Espresso machine. I did a lot of research at the time and it came out top in several road tests. It is a midrange one price wise (about $699) but it is brilliant, even eight years later. At the time it out rated the more expensive and the cheaper brands/models.

Highly recommend it.

Me me me! I have a Breville Barista Express, it's awesome. It has a built in grinder and you can press buttons for automatic single or double shots or do it manually. I couldn't be without Barry (lol) and haven't had an instant in almost a year thanks to him.

I don't drink coffee, but my SIL does and she loves her fully automatic delonghi machine.
I know it was quite pricey ($2500+) but they love it!

We'll have one soon, our house is almost finished being built and we have an Electrolux built in coffee machine being installed alongside the built in microwave and ovens. I'm very excited, it should hopefully replace all my takeaway coffees
