A friend of mine just came back from Italy, raving about the coffee.
He wants to get a home espresso machine, but can't spend more than $150-$200.
I used to have a Melita espresso brewer, but it was junk, just cheap and plastic-y.
I'm trying to push him towards a stovetop. There's always the Moka, but he wants to be able to steam milk, too.
Looks are important, too. The La Sorrentina Atomic would be perfect, but it's too pricy at $459.
Does anybody own this?
The Taylor and Ng CX-25. Its stainless-steel, has a steaming wand, and looks kinda retro. At about $125, the price is perfect.
I'm even considering buying this for him as a gift, so any thoughts or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks!
