I'm looking for a home espresso machine. I don't want the "push a button "

[cynupstateny]

for froth. If possible, I want to decide how frothy I want it. I saw a nice one for $2000. but that's waaay out of my price range. Any of you have one that you really love?

We had this little DeLonghi one as a hand-me-down for two years and loved it.

I think our friends had had it for a year (when they upgraded to a giant machine and gave us the little one), which isn't too bad for appliance life, these days...

I have this one... Love it; not just for the frothing, but their customer service is amazing. They

replaced mine when I called and told them I was no longer able to "froth". They gave me tips and tricks to try, but after no luck, they sent us a new one. I was soo happy!

We have moved to making tea everyday vs. coffee. I always hold my breath when someone asks for cofee, hoping that my frother will work. (It has not let me down!)

LOVE this frother

This is the one I'm considering. I just feel kind of crazy to spend that much on coffee.

My friend has this one and it's really great. Breville stainless

It's quite superior, I'm very happy with my Nespresso pixie but really wanted this one but I don't have the space. Given that though, my pixie really impressed her and she's particular about her coffee!
