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?
