So I'm looking at the automatic machines now..raised my budget.



anyone have the dehlonghi dinamica plus? i am not going to defend my reliance on an automatic machine; i'm not currently enough of a espresso connoisseur to fiddle and fuss to make my own.

i started out by testing a couple espressos at a local kitchen store who had the juras set up but at less than half the price, the selection and quality of the dehlonghi not to mention convenience of having it handle all the details make this my current fav.

anyone have any experience with this? so far i'm not seeing anything to dissaude me other than its a little expensive at $1,500ish.

i love you can set 3 separate profiles on it so you can dial in your perfect style and get a consistent pull every time.

I'll tell you right now, I only drink cappuccinos or lattes with my Breville Barista Express. We use the hot water feature to make tea easily instead of microwaving it/doing it over the stovetop. It really all comes down to what you want to drink daily.

If you want every single coffee you can think off, a fully automatic coffee machine would be the way to go. I'm not too keen on many of the brands. I would say if you want espresso-based drinks, go with the espresso machines that do not mess with drip coffee. If you want drip coffee, go all in on a good drip coffee maker that can take care of your beans and milk for you.

I don’t know that machine, but often, if a machine is set up to do everything automatically, it doesn’t do anything really well. But if that one is different, it certainly has a lot of options.

We have something similar, Phillips 4300 and love it. I am not fricking around in the morning with manually making an espresso
