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!
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.
