Recommend your espresso machine?

Ours died this morning after 8 happy years.  We're shopping for a new one (probably from Macy's since we have gift cards from the wedding to spend).  We'd like one that makes at least 2 cups at a time, and has a frothing nozzle.  Any recommendations?

  • We've had the Baby Gaggia (clicky) for almost three years and love it.  A friend of ours is a pretty experienced barista and recommended it.

  • We have a baby gaggia at work, and while I don't drink it, everyone else loves the stupid thing.

  • We have a nespresso. DH loves it, but you can only buy the pods online, so its a bitch to restock.

  • If i had enough money that I could blow over $2000 on an espresso maker, I could probably give you a list of things 10 pages long that I would buy instead.

    Agreed.  Although it would be nice to have a budget 10x the one we currently have.

    I don't think you're smart enough to read books about Mauritius.  Maybe you should start with something a little simpler, like racism.

    A little bit of heaven.  Hendricks, elderflower liqueur, muddled cucumber and basil, fresh lime juice, and just enough club soda for a bit of fizz.
