Espresso Machines

Home espresso machines, from a first serious single-boiler to dual boilers with flow control. Every machine here uses a standard 58 mm portafilter unless its page says otherwise, which means the whole world of baskets and tools fits.The honest buying order: sort out your grinder first, because no machine fixes an uneven grind. Then pick by how you drink. Milk drinks back to back want a heat exchanger or dual boiler; straight shots on a budget do fine with a single boiler and a PID; and lever machines are for people who want the process in their hands.Not sure where you land? The first espresso setup guide and beginner machine guide on the Journal walk through it by budget.
