"So , I’m thinking of spending some hard earned money on my own coffee machine. I don’t want one of the machines that uses pods but a proper bean to cup machine. Any suggestions welcomed. Not trying to sound smart but it really depends how much you are willing to spend. Some of the barista style ones cost thousands. I have a Delonghi ESAM 4200 bean to cup machine. For a budget machine I can't fault it..... when I say budget it still costs around the 300 mark. This model is a few years on the market now so I'm sure others can recommend other machines. Good luck choosing." A friend has a Gaggia model which was about €500. Don’t know if I’d stretch that far | |||

"Get a decent Espresso machine, pod machines are a racket and taste terrible.. Sage if you can afford it, or Gaggia make decent machines about the £250 mark" I see the Sage machines on amazon alright, I definitely won’t be stretching that far but the Gaggia could be a runner. | |||

Sage is a differant level though, it's all about the pressure.. coffee is an expensive rabbit hole, next thing you know you'll be buying small batch, hand roasted beans and a hand grinder... | |||

" Sage (Breville) is a very good make with features that other makes don't have in some mid range consumer products. But we are talking about 600 euro and up. If you don't mind a machine without a coffee grinder built in, then a good starting point is Sage Bambino Plus. | |||

Good luck choosing." I've been using a Delongi for a few years now (can't remember the exact model) and it's great. It's pretty much as convient as a pod machine just fill it with beans and water and all you need to do is press a button | |||
