https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZWHAKK..._QE0EBbW306TFB I would pay for their espresso pods bc I drink expresso infrequently but coffee daily. also the Nespresso machines are on sale now so I might do that for the time being. when I have space I'll go for the bigger better machines

i can't believe people use those keurig things, never had a decent cup of coffee from them. i got a bialletti thing from target for cheap and it makes good coffee.

I echo what some of the guys here said about keurig, experienced different machines and a bunch of kcups, never had a good one!
Went back to a $30 mr coffee, and experimenting with different ground bean brands, much better imo |

I'm not a coffee person but the wife is. Her current setup is the Rancilio 'Rocky' burr grinder I got her a few years back + a Chemex.

:Keurig. I should have taken my 10lbs sledgehammer and destroyed that thing.
Bought a cuisinart: grinds and brew coffee. Best coffee maker I ever owned. |

I can't believe that only a few said Technivorm Moccamaster. It's + $9 above your budget , but it'll be $9 well spent. Looks great on the counter, easy to use even before you've had coffee, and without a doubt, makes the best coffee out of all of the coffee makers we've ever had (and we've sure had a lot!). We ripped out our expensive built in Miele coffee maker, replaced it with this and never looked back.

Comparing Pike Place to a properly fresh ground and pressure released coffee with a half inch of crema from the fresh beans is a tad ... well ... it's just not right. Buy the Breville, we make about 10 double coffees per week and a bag lasts about a month, so 40 doubles or 80 singles at $11 bag on sale for outstanding Kicking Horse Beans. |

Only extra steps from keurig is a quick tamper and a quick rinse of the bucket. It's a myth that it is time consuming. it's also far better coffee at half the price. |

Best drip coffeemaker for sure. I still prefer either a french press, like the Espro which has double filters, or for one cup, the Clever coffee maker, which is like a Melitta filter with a stopper. Either way, you need a good grinder.

As many have mentioned the most important part of making a good espresso is the grinder. Dialing in the perfect grind for a specific bean is key. My set up is pretty simple and cheap.
Manual Grinder: http://www.madebyknock.com/handgrind-grinders.html Gaggia Classic (modified) https://www.amazon.com/Gaggia-Semi-A.../dp/B0001KOA4Q One day I hope to own a machine from this line. http://www.victoriaarduino.com/

Yes, because that is what it is, but about the best one I've found and could recommend...the OP asked about coffee...regular coffee but espresso would be "a plus". If they're like most people, they probably don't want espresso all of the time. I've got a 15 bar espresso machine too, but can't even imagine only drinking that all of the time or playing around with that in the morning while trying to get out the door for work!

Massdrop and Williams Sonoma frequently have Technivorms on sale.
They're great for the ease of use, I'd never use one over a pour over, but I buy good beans and use a great grinder, unlike some of you heathens. |
