If you want espresso in the literal sense, you want get it froma cheap machine- 200 is cheap, too
Expect to pay 1000 pounds roughly
A bialetti or tassimo gives you a nice mediterranean style coffe, but no espresso on the way pizza express gives you a nice mediterranean style flatbread....
Please see my second post in this thread. I'm not interested in the textbook PH 'lifestyle' response of: "You need to spend at least 20-times your budget to even get something which I would consider drinking".Expect to pay 1000 pounds roughly

I asked if it could be done for £50, no more. You could have just given me a straight answer, but took the opportunity for a touch of snobbery.
However I'm glad I'm not snobbish enough to be paying £2300 a month rent.
Means I can afford a £200 espresso machine that has lasted 3 years so far. Much better value for money than a cheap machine that doesn't really work or having to resort to stove top pots.
As I said earlier (had you bothered to read it), I just don't drink enough coffee at home (possibly once a week, maybe less frequently) to justify spending a shedload of money on a machine that will sit gathering dust.
If that makes me a snob, then so be it, but I think we all know who is really looking down their nose here.

We should have a whip round for him I reckon. I mean, the poor bloke rents out his car parking space to make ends meet.
Your generosity has melted my heart.Dave200 said:

Oh well.
Just seemed a bit odd that your rent was mentioned on a thread about budget appliances.
