I imagine “connoisseurs” would try to disagree, but Mr Coffee makes a legitimately decent all-in-one machine for $230 - the One Touch CoffeeHouse. I mostly drink lattes and while they are not as frothy and airy as one from an actual coffee house, for the price and ease-to-make they are astonishingly good.

- earlyriser 3y agoMokapots are great. We had an espresso machine, but it took more space and cleaning time than a mokapot.
- tastyfreeze 3y agoFreshly roasted beans are more important for flavor than the preparation method.

- lostlogin 3y agoThis is a bit inaccurate, and that is reflected in the top results when you google it. Conical burrs are not cheaper. You call this when you look at them, the shape is pretty complex. They often don’t have good (low) retention as they are often on massive commercial equipment. They are consistent as all hell.
- throw0101a 3y ago> I imagine “connoisseurs” would try to disagree, but Mr Coffee makes a legitimately decent all-in-one machine for $230 - the One Touch CoffeeHouse. The Specialty Coffee Association has a certification program and list of machines that have passed: * https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer Units by Cuisinart, GE, Oxo, and Zwilling are on the certified list and can be founded listed for US$ 230. One of the main items for certification is getting the water consistently to the correct temperature. Or you can spend $30 on a dripper and $50 on a (simple on/off) kettle: * https://cleverbrewing.coffee/products/clever-dripper https://cleverbrewing.coffee/products/clever-dripper With the difference going to a good grinder so you're making coffee with fresh beans.
- shortcrct 3y agoI briefly looked through the website, does the SCA have a list of "Certified" consumer-level espresso machines specifically? I was disappointed to see that they had certified home brewers for drip coffee and commercial espresso machines that cost $15k, but no espresso machines that I could afford.
- throw0101a 3y ago> Dozens of machines are submitted for testing every year, but only those that bear the SCA Certified Espresso Machine mark have met our rigorous testing standards: * https://sca.coffee/sca-certified/espresso-machines https://sca.coffee/sca-certified/espresso-machines Maybe there is no list of "consumer-level espresso machines" because no machines have met the certification criteria?
