I'm using this in the office: La Marzocco - LINEA CLASSIC

Very good stuff from this brand of espresso makers, but way too bulky and troublesome to maintain, not to mention it's crazy expensive. Maybe can look for something more suitable for home use under this brand.

If really like your coffee, get a semi-auto machine and a good blur grinder. These days a number of roasters in Singapore so access to good fresh beans are quite easy. Good fresh beans is most critical, then grinder and lastly a good machine with E61 grouphead.

Due to the ever rising inflation, I can no longer afford a decent cup of starbucks cuppacino or latte. In order not to suffer silently without a cup of expensive coffee, I am thinking of getting a 'high tech' coffee machine at home:chinese: to brew my own cuppa every morning.

Ah and the smell of coffee aroma in the morning in your kitchen or coffee corner is unbeatable. Like glue sniffing.

So heres the serious question: Can anyone recco any good, reliable(not like BMW but lexus), coffee maker that can brew a good cup of cuppacinonio or latteo or espressonio? And the favourite Singaporean question - how muchie $$$? Also do you brew with Arabica or Columbian coffee beans?

We are doing a kitchen remodel and can't decide whether to put in a built-in coffee machine. Anyone have any input on the matter - good or bad? What are the best brands? Is it worth the $$? Will something inevitably break?

Was at Porsche office to settle my dad's car, and I saw a familiar E61 machine from Bezzera.
I bought the Bezzera Crema earlier this year, very happy with it.

Used to have a Miele built in and the quality totally lose out to these semi-professionals which are basically downsized professional cafe machines
