Looking to get my hands on an espresso machine for personal use at home... Do you own one or can you recommend a decently priced one? Preferably under $100... lol Im kinda cheap

    Do you have a grinder ? Bialetti Moka Pot, Rok Manual Espresso Maker, Handpresso Wild Hybrid.

    I would also be interested in suggestions for machines that are a good value. I have one I bought for around $50, but I need something better. This one is starting to malfunction.

    I had several friends who are profession baristas and a couple coffee shop owners suggest something completely different than a machine... They suggested the AeroPress. They said once you learn how to use it and get the results you want that it produces some nice coffee chop quality espresso
