I dont know if this is the proper forum to be posting this.

Im in a dilemma, I wanted to purchase my brother an espresso machine for Christmas but have no clue what to look for.
Im in a budget – under 0 range.
Not looking for anything fancy but for something thats decent.
My brother drinks store bought coffee and instant coffee at home.
He has never used an espresso machine before.

So far, here are the different ones Ive found.

I have a new Delonghi coffee machine and I also have some vietnamese coffee which has a delicious hazelnut taste. I used to mix it with Italian coffee grounds and use it in my old espresso machine.
I guess I am concerned because the Vietnamese coffee I have is butter roasted. Don’t want to gum anything up.
Thanks for answering.

I just purchased a Delonghi EC155 and most of the reviews say it is a great entry level espresso machine. I just started playing around with it and experimenting to pull a good shot of espresso. I am no coffee/espresso expert so I don’t know what a perfect espresso should be like. I know that I enjoy them when I get them from a coffee shop but I don’t get it often enough to know what a perfect shot should be like. I am grinding my own beans (fine grind) and tamping with a decent amount of pressure. My crema turns out with a bit of fine ground beans in it. Is this normal or is this considered a bad shot? Perhaps my grind is a bit too fine? My shots are coming out a bit light so I am tamping harder and trying to keep the grind fine to increase the brew time.

Anyone have specific tips on using this particular machine as well?

I am a college student, and I work as a barista to help pay for school. I’m entertaining the idea of buying my own small espresso machine, but I don’t really know what kind to get. I’ve only ever used restaurant-grade machines before, and I don’t know what to look for in a small machine. I want it to have a wand, and I want to be able to use ground coffee (no pods).

I see stuff about steam powered vs. pump-powered machines, and shamefully, even though I work in 2 coffeeshops, I don’t know what that means. It sounds to me like pump machines are more powerful than steam-powered ones, but I don’t know if that’s correct.

Also, I need the machine to be cheap…because minimum wage really doesn’t go all that far. So far I like the look of the DeLonghi EC155, which looks like it usually goes for around . Here it is:

Anyway, I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts, since I don’t really know what I’m doing.

Thanks a lot!
