Dual espresso - coffee maker machine recommend?
Posted on 7/9/22 at 6:37 pm
Posted on 7/9/22 at 6:37 pm
Does anybody here have a duel serving coffee and espresso machine? I am looking at the options and they are immense. I drink regular coffee daily but my Bunn is reaching its death at ten years now. I drink the occasional cappuccino and espresso enough to warrant getting a dual machine to save money longterm. With that said, I see these machines ranging from a couple hundred to couple of thousands. Anybody have a recommendation for a high-quality, low maintenance one?

At the risk of being downvoted I use the Breville Nespresso machine which works like a champ and makes several different types and sizes.

I have a jura and an Odea Go
The Jura is definitely a well made machine with easy maintenance and reliable

I have a Jura too and love it. However, there are many more quality offerings than when I was in the market. I think you can get a similar quality semiautomatic dual machine for much less that Jura.

Nespresso Original with a separate frother.

I have a delonghi and I really like it, but it does no brew a whole pot...are you looking for something that will do whole carafe at once?

We have this espresso machine from Phillips. It's very low maintenance. Just need to empty the grinds deposit and make sure it's filled with water and beans.
A descaling rinse is needed every few months, but that's pretty much it for regular maintenance.

Man, espresso machines have gone up quite a bit...as with everything else

My wife and I are also looking into an espresso/coffee maker. My wife wants something simple, push a button and ready to go.
I don't mind something that takes hands on to make a fantastic cup.
I was looking at the Breville Barista Express. I think my wife could handle this every morning, but she would want something that makes a cup (12 oz.) of coffee, but also where she can make an iced coffee. My wife, on the other hand, wants a nespresso machine like this.
Any suggestions?

Tell her that you're not drinking some nasty coffee extracted from plastic.
I'm all for getting a nice espresso machine and satisfying people's want for "a coffee" with a pour over or French press.

So we ended up getting the Breville Barista Express. It took a few batches and watching a bunch of YouTube, but this thing is pretty neat.
Got this in hopes it would break my wife’s Starbucks addiction. I made her one of those oatmilk things and it may have worked. This thing will pay for itself in about 6 months.

I told you to stay away from the damn plastic cups. Good choice.
Hope you don’t get the espresso bug like I did. I started with a Breville Barista Pro, and now I have a significantly more expensive Profitec.

Vouch for nesresso vertuoline machine that can do normal coffee pods and espresso pods. Had one for 5 years or so, and when it started having issues, I ordered a replacement machine that day. The price of pods is high but quality is high and consistent.
