Espresso/Cappuccino Maker

Does anyone here use an espresso machine every day? I’m thinking of a change from the French Press I use everyday. What’s the best brand? I’m looking for something in the 300-500 dollar range.

Do you use one?

I have a mocha pot that I used it often. I purchased a Nesspresso, but it’s not what I hoped it would be. It just spins out fake Crema. Invest in a real espresso maker.

I have Nespresso machines (one at home, one at work) and it's very good for what it is (a reasonably priced machine that makes espresso right there at your elbow but it isn't espresso like you'd have in Rome but it costs less than going to Starbucks or Caribou). Would recommend.

After my stalwart 20 year old Krups machine died, I replaced it with a basic Capresso machine - which was just lousy. I then bought a Breville Bambino but when I got it home and started to read the directions, they were so complicated I took it right back to the store. Finally, a friend suggested I look into a super-automatic machine, and I got a Philips Carina 2200 series from Seattle Coffee Gear. Just under $500. Absolutely love it. It grinds the beans for each shot, and you can make an espresso or a regular coffee. Has a large reservoir that is accessible from the front. Very simple to clean and maintain. I've had it for a year and use it daily. You can order Lavazza Espresso Italiano whole beans online for a great brew.
