[quote=Anonymous]Lots of great advice and videos on WholeLatteLove. We have bought two Gaggia machines from them in the past 12 years. The first, more entry-level, was the Gaggia Brera which was a workhorse for about a decade. Then we upgraded to the Academia when it was on supersale about a year ago. But there are other good options around your price point, perhaps like the Prestige: https://www.wholelattelove.com/collections/all-espresso-machines?_=pf&pf_v_brand=Gaggia If you go semi-automatic or super-automatic, you want to have really good beans that are not oily. Oily beans (like Starbucks) will gum up your grinder. We've had good local success with Swing's Roasters and RiseUp coffee. Now we order from a friend's small roasting operation in Philly and the beans are perfect: https://www.triangleroasters.com/shop/symmetry-espresso-blend[/quote]
