Hey look! It's my espresso machine!

We got ours at the beginning of covid, still going strong. It's survived a move, and several camping trips where we run it off a generator, from the trunk of the car.

It's all automated, but you can run it in manual mode if you ever get fancy with your coffee (I haven't yet). Heck, I still use the double wall cup for more consistency and ease. Plenty tasty.

$400 is a good price, also. Pretty sure it was 600 when we got ours, and that was on sale 🤔

    With this machine you unfortunately kinda have to use the double walled baskets, because the grinder doesn't have a good enough adjustment for proper espresso.

    I don’t know about that, I used one on vacation and it took a couple tries and I didn’t know about the internal adjustment but it ended up pulling something approaching good espresso with the single wall basket. Maybe that’s just the thing - even with more time it doesn’t get better?

    You van get lucky or a grind or whatever rhat makes it work well enough, but if you switch beans all the time and such it's a nightmare.
