Best budget espresso machine? College student/espresso junkie here, I’m looking to get an espresso machine to cut back on the amount of money I willingly hand over to Starbucks. I’d like to spend no more than $200, but want to get an espresso machine that works well and will last. I had the $40 Mr. Coffee one from Target and it broke after about 2 months. I’ve looked at every brand under the sun but want to hear from real people what works for them!
