I only ever see machines minimum in the hundreds. is there a budget friendly option for someone who wants to enjoy espresso?

<div class="md"><p>I only ever see machines minimum in the hundreds. is there a budget friendly option for someone who wants to enjoy espresso?</p>
</div>

Budget friendly espresso.

 Filter group/piston cylinder is cumbersome. Preheating is difficult (setting cylinder in hot water). Removing the piston can be difficult as it binds due to expansion). The ability to make more than one shot or a long pull requires removal of group, cooling enough to handle, pulling the piston out then resetting on machine (no long pulls)

 I think that is w what drew me to the machine in the first place.  Mechanical design: leaves a little too be desired. Filter group/piston cylinder is cumbersome. Preheating is difficult (setting cylinder in hot water)

Having owned this machine for a while I feel like I can offer a detailed review. As an avid coffee connoisseur, I procure green beans from reliable sources and roast to my specifications. For comparison I own over 40 brewing apparatuses.  Asthetic design: very nice

Interesting concept with some drawbacks.

Hey y’all! I’m a college student looking to get into drinking &amp; making espresso as my usual cold brew has gotten a bit tired. I want to pick out a decent espresso machine that isn’t too complicated to learn and $350 or less. Any ideas?? I only seem to find espresso machines way out of my limit ($700+).

Affordable espresso machine for beginner in college?

After unboxing and setting up the unit, there's no denying this is a great looking piece of hardware. The metal components have a nice heft, and the black frame/copper base definitely invoke the coffee theme.  Upon using it, I noticed the portafilters required a little bit of force to click into the base and sit level. This didn't seem intentional, but more like a tolerance issue, because one portafilter exhibited the issue more than the other, and both exhibited the issue to varying degrees depending on how they were rotated

 The result is excellent espresso, and on the first day, better lattes than anything I've made with the Aeropress. While the unit is technically portable, I'll continue to use my Aeropress for coffee on the go, but I enjoy being able to make real espresso at home with a device that's very affordable, and one that should be extremely low maintenance in the long run (other than O-rings wearing over time, it doesn't seem like much can go wrong, due to the simplicity of design).  From a design standpoint, it's very good, but there are a few minor things that could be better. The base can wobble a bit if there's any horizontal forces applied, which I think has less to do with the oval base, and more to do with the tripod layout of the rubber bumpers on the bottom

The base can wobble a bit if there's any horizontal forces applied, which I think has less to do with the oval base, and more to do with the tripod layout of the rubber bumpers on the bottom. The piston could also have something at the top so it's easier to grip and pull out of the cylinder by hand. The instructions show how you can use the plastic tamper to force the piston up and out, but the metal tamper doesn't seem like it should be used for this role, so at this point the plastic tamper is just one more thing on the counter

precisely weighing the grounds, tamping the grounds, and preheating the cylinder. Likewise, cleanup has a few extra steps, but none of these steps are difficult.

Given your budget and espresso-only preference, I’d suggest a manual setup — 1ZPresso JX-Pro and a Flair.

I am obsessed with drinking just espresso and cream, it’s just not the same with other forms of coffee!

So I’m spending wayyy too much money just buying shots of espresso from literally anywhere with an espresso machine.

I’d rather keep the price down but I want something that’ll last and make good espresso!

How can I make my own and start saving some money??

(Any pointers in what to look for or what to avoid in a home machine?)

Best home espresso machine for just espresso?

 Flair sells an accessory pressure gauge/piston from their company website, and IMO this is absolutely critical to using the machine effectively. Without the pressure gauge you will find yourself constantly guessing how much force to use and when, and to be frank there's enough guesswork and trial and error involved in using this thing without all that. These three things make the Flair considerably more user-friendly.  Once you've done that, prepare to set aside a half hour or more each time you buy a new bag of coffee to dial in the grind size, tamping pressure, and water temperature particular to your new beans

I bought this because I like manual gadgets and espresso, and I thought that I'd end up saving money by making espresso at home instead of buying one each morning. The Flair was especially appealing to me among manual espresso presses because I don't have much counter space in my kitchen and I travel long stretches for work, so the portability was a major draw.  I'll admit, I didn't quite know what I was getting into with this thing. Beginners luck gave me two great shots of espresso on my first two attempts, but after that I fell into a spiral of pure frustration as shot after shot after shot came back too watery/fast, or just didn't come at all as the lever repeatedly choked up on me

 Your grinder will probably cost more than the Flair, which will set the cost-effectiveness of your new home-brewing system even further back, but you'll need it if you ever want to get to the point of pulling good, reliable shots. You might get away with a stovetop kettle and thermometer, but I'd rather not be messing around with those things while making sure that all the other components that go into prepping shots are in order.

Once you've done that, prepare to set aside a half hour or more each time you buy a new bag of coffee to dial in the grind size, tamping pressure, and water temperature particular to your new beans. You'll start to get a hang for what works and after awhile this should only take a few shots, but you will not be able to maintain your variables from bag to bag. Yes, this is standard procedure for espresso on any machine, but you'll need to be prepared for the fact that this process takes MUCH longer on the Flair than it would on a semi-automatic or automatic machine

Works Well, but Prepare For Heartache

There's a couple of options. You buy a grinder and a manual espresso maker like the Flair. Or something like a sage Bambino, or you go big and spend a butt load of money.

Hello everyone, 

I'm a fairly big coffee person (likely nowhere close to the majority of this subreddit, however). I usually make my coffee using a Hario v 60 and have a number of local roasters that I like getting my coffee from. 

I've been watching a number of videos on youtube and have been considering getting into espresso etc... But there are so many options I'm not sure where to start. Mostly in terms of equipment. I currently use the Bodum BISTRO grinder for pour-overs and have no espresso machine otherwise. 

I know machines and grinders can be expensive and I'm open to investing a few thousand into the hobby. But I also don't want to jump right in and spend $3-4k on a grinder and espresso unless that's really the best way to go. Any thoughts?

How to get into espresso

So my flair signature came today. My overall impressions.. starting with the most important, does it make espresso? Yes

 If anyone is considering the flair for a portable solution, I can definitely recommend that you do so. However, I would splurge the extra dollars for a signature or Pro series as you get the pressure gauge which I think is critical.

Does what it's supposed to

 However I would say the pressure gauge is really a key thing with the Flair and worth the money.

I’m looking to finally be able to make good espresso. I’ve settled on a JX Pro grinder, and was considering the Flair classic. But I’m honestly not too sure if that’s the best.   

What would you suggest getting at that price point? Both manual and automatic? And a Steamer wouldn’t be too bad to have either

Can I get a better machine than the flair classic at that price point?

  What i dont like: the plastic piston- i think flair should give their costumers a plastic free espresso and by that i mean that hot water flow through stainless all the way.I know its a food grade material but its still a big minus for me. You can buy the stainless piston and the plastic gauge but the plastic gauge adapter will still get in touch with hot water during the brewing so its not an upgrade for me.  Its important to say that flair's customer service answered me very quickly and honestly about why they discontinued the stainless piston that was once included

I like it
