Help me shop - espresso machine

[happywife]

My Nespresso is about to die and I am thinking of getting an espresso machine to replace it. No budget, but I am in a condo so a smaller size is better. I make basic lattes, I don't need a milk frother. TIA!

I got this one for my son last year for Christmas so I don't have any personal experience with it, but he loves it a.co/d/7bpWAjm I remember doing a lot of research at the time and reading the reviews and was ultimately very happy with my purchase.

We also live in a condo. I think the size is right and it’s versatile

I am confused. You need frothy milk to make a latte! Or do you mean you already have a separate milk frother? Obviously I don't have the same products/prices as you would in the US, but I can say we had a pretty small footprint De'Longhi that at least here was a good price for the quality. Before that we had an Oster that was cheaper but not as good and took up more space.

I love mine and have recommended it a lot. The KitchenAid Semi Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder.

I love my Breville Barista Pro.

The Bambino or Bambino Plus is reviewed as being one of the better small espresso machines and it's easy to do the milk frothing with it (it's probably what will be my next machine). Plus they are on the smaller side.

I have this one. I love it so far. I also make lattes, so I bought one with a frother, but you can buy it without if you don't need it. I wanted a fully automatic. I don't want to be pulling shots and dealing with all that.

We have this one. I love it. It’s not automatic, but once you get the hang of pulling shots it makes really good coffee, and it’s a workhorse.

We have the Breville Bambino Plus and love it for lattes.
