☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

It has a boiler which is good to see (as opposed to a thermablock or something similar). For $70 probably not terrible but I doubt it’ll last long and it’s a no name brand so I’m not sure how reliable they’ll be for servicing and such. If you want a budget espresso machine, check out the DeLonghi Stilosa. I’m not sure how much it is in your local currency (I’m not American) but in Canada it’s around $150 and regularly on sale for $100 and is probably the best machine you can get for the budget end.
