  • Home espresso is a massive faff and basically the dream you have of making beautiful lil flatties every morning before work very quickly goes out the window! However it’s a nice thing to have, especially in this lockdown period.

    I’d be probably looking at one of the Sage all in one jobbies if I were doing it again like the one @duncs is selling.

    I don’t agree with that. I make a flat white or other milk-based coffee before work almost every morning and it’s no faff if that’s what you want. I have the espresso machine on a timer so it’s warmed up ready to use when I get up.

    Gaggia Classic is hard to go wrong with for a beginner. It’s reliable and consistent. Upgrade the steam wand to the Silvia wand and it does great milk too. Strong resale value too if you genuinely don’t get on with it.

  • Making milk-based drinks definitely helps as a decent bit of steamed milk can easily cover up any imperfections in an espresso.
