best espresso or latte machine -that can preferrably makes coffee

[Anonymous]

I do not want to exceed around $500. We spend so much on coffee out and believe we could save if we got a good home machine.

Thank you!

Nespresso?

Honestly? Get a stovetop espresso maker fron Bialetti andd an aerolatte milk foamer. I think the stovetop espresso runs $35 and the foamer about $20. I have a Bialetti that was my grandmother's (so vintage 60s)--still going strong, and the best espresso ever.

Just got a nespresso and really like it. Get the aerocino too. Be warned that each capsule is 60 cents. You can make larger cups but not a pot of coffee.

The stovetops don't really make espresso, although some people like them a lot.

I find the video reviews at Seattle Coffee Gear pretty helpful/fun, and their prices are as low as anyone's.

Coffeegeek also has some good info but it takes more work to dig it up.

I love my Nepresso Pixie with aerocino!

What I would say exactly, amazon carries them and they are fantastic.

We used to have a Bialetti but switched to a Nespresso a year ago, and the coffee is so much better. We have the Citiz without the milk frother. About $250.
