I have a Consumer Reports subscription and I’ve seen countless videos on YouTube about espresso machines, but after all these years I still don’t own one.

I’m not an enthusiast. I just want a high quality espresso machine that makes consistently good espresso shots. I’m never going to be someone who wants to spend 15-30 minutes on creating a shot of espresso.

I’m bewildered that a machine that makes hot water push at high pressure through a puck of grounds costs more than a high-end computer.

What do people buy who don’t decant the smell of their own farts who just want an espresso machine?

What’s the ATH-M50 or the IBM Model M of espresso machines?

The breville barista line is what you're looking for.
