  • My cousin has done that thing were they ask you just tell them what espresso setup to buy.

    I've tried explaining that even if they spend a lot it won't just make nice coffee out the box, but he's quite insistent on espresso.

    His budget is £500-700. I suggested a DF64 and maybe a second hand Gaggia Classic (not 2015 model) or Rancilio Silvia.

    It doesn't feel very satisfactory though. Anyone have a different suggestion?

    I would suggest a flair or robot but he wants milk steamer.

  • If they’re patient, second hand niche and Gaggia classic off eBay. Easy to do for £700 if you look at completed listings, and depending on what comes with either, there should be cash left over for scales etc. More classics than Niches on eBay tho.
