Nespresso is easy and simple with the capsules. I can make a double shot latte for about $1.30 vs SBUX at $4.00.

Nespresso by a mile. Make sure to get the milk frother too. Best espresso maker I ever owned.

I think so. I like coffee like mud and the darker roast capsules they have are great. I've had many espresso makers and this one just seems to make the best cup.

I have this and I love it. Put whatever beans you want and it does all the work. Grinds then brews and has a steaming wand.

Have a Saeco Talea Giro that is going on 10 years old. Needs some tlc every couple of years but we enjoy it.
Prices on superautomatics has apparently fallen drastically.

A man can't like a good cup of espresso with some frother milk. Not like I'm sipping on it while setting up my Grindr date for the afternoon.

does your girlfriend want a real espresso machine? or a pod machine that makes "espresso"? i don't know anything about the latter. but if the former, you have a lot of choices.
there are super automatic machines that will grind beans and brew an espresso with the push of a button. then their are semi-automatic pump machines that require a bit more craft (and a quality burr grinder).
a decent super automatic will run you around 500 dollars. the quality semi-automatic will cost you the same, but you will need a good grinder as well. i have a gaggia classic - see below - and a krupps burr grinder. with a freshly roasted, quality bean i can make espressos that rival art house coffee joints (and put starbucks type espresso to shame).

A man should drink black coffee like Jesus intended.

Growing up, my dad drank his coffee black, and my mom always poured creamer in hers. I learned to associate the two styles with genders. Any time I see a man putting sweetener in his coffee, internally I can't help but judge him a little.
