Anyone else here have a nice Espresso Machine?
 

Just bought a DeLonghi Magnifica EAM3400 a few months ago and absolutely LOVE it. I've started drinking Espresso (and Cappucino) instead of regular coffee and it rocks. Waking up in the morning is a breeze now and I love the flavor this thing produces, definitely worth the extra money. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Uhhhhh...... hello?

no-one cares

yeah, i guess not. i figured as many coffee drinkers as there are on gfy, someone else here would have an Espresso machine. I guess they're not bling-blingy enough to have their own thread. Oh well, I still highly recommend getting one to anyone that enjoys coffee.

I don't drink any of that stuff because I think would get addicted and it wouldn't be good

Yes I've got an Illy Espresso machine the FrancisFrancis X4 $1000
that's a real espresso machine them cheap ones don't have the right pressure
to make a really good espresso you need at least 6 bar of pressure.

I was looking at a few the otherday.. they had one for about a grand that made a great cup, but as I only have one a day. I can go to the cafe for 3 years everyday and look at the girl with big boobs that works there make mine for me..

If she leaves and gets replaced by some sweaty bloke.. I will make the purchase.

exactly delonghi is crap, wait till you gotta service it

Jura Impressa F90 - can't live without it anymore. Choosing the right coffee beans is very important though.

there's a starbucks on the corner.

nice, finally someone who understands. Ive got a Jura as well.

do you watch NBA at circuit city as well?

ha! good one. sometimes i guess i do get wrapped up with all those big screens in front of me. but it's true, nothing beats a home brewed espresso in the morning. and sbux doesn't give you a twist of lemon rind. have you tried it with lemon rind? awesome.

I know its insane to spend that much on a espresso machine but some ppl spend 50k on watch or they drive 10 miles to get some kinda water thats made in heaven.

Besides I hate the syrups they use, all artifcial stuff. Oh and a large cappucino is like $6 here. Drinking 3-4 a day does make your own machine cheaper. And you get to try out nice coffee and not get stuck with Kenian coffee that makes your gut feel like its cut in half.

Theyre not too bad btw a Jura starts at like $800-900

I love espresso but Im not planning on getting espresso machine ever, I'll simply drink at least 5-6 cups of double espresso daily.

What brand do you drink? Illy is by far my favourite. And btw although most people think that espresso is stronger (it only has 'stronger' taste IMO) it actually contains less caffeine (sp) than regular coffee.

I just bought a new house and it came with this nifty built-in espresso maker
Only catch is, I don't generally drink espresso, and the thing looks complicated to use... built in coffee grinder and all sorts of stuff... we have several models who work at Starbucks so I'm gonna have to get one of them over to show me how the damn thing works :)

I have one in the closet . .. . after finding about the 'french pess' no more expreso for me . .:thumbsup

exactly, you can just go to the store and buy one for cheaper lol

sure i got one

I have a Saeco something machine also

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

If they had a nice sofa and cold beer I probably would :thumbsup Starbucks for life...

I've sworn by my french press for years :thumbsup

Although I end up breaking one every 3-4 months...
