Surprised to see the majority of the comments are things just stopped working completely on such a machine

Hobz probably doesn’t want to risk buying anything Italian he can’t return?

what the fuck are those!? thats just coffee jibberish to me!
Like i said, i dont know anything about coffee. I just want a machine so i can serve people coffee when they are over (the last machine was like 899 on sale at boxing day, but i found out it was an espresso machine... that didnt make fucking coffee!!!).
I was really worried about these pieces of shits breaking and lo and behold that DeCrappy machine did break in less than 6 months. I dont think these other fancy machines are gonna be any better so unless they sell them in costco, i dont even wanna know. Quote:

Even my fucking vespa 300 almost killed me when it died on the highway 91 and i was doing 120km/h and all of a sudden the damn thing crapped out.

I think the bad reviews are overblown, I had the older version of this machine and it worked great, I just didn't think it made good enough espresso.

It makes great hot and iced coffee, though I'm not a coffee aficionado.
It doesn't make espresso-based drinks though so you'll need a separate machine for that - I don't think anyone out there makes one machine that does both coffee and espresso-based drinks at consumer-grade prices. Costco Ninja Coffee Maker  | |

No man! No.
Man logic: I bought a few bags of these beans from 49 parallel. Didn’t get to try them before my deCrappy kicked the bucket. Thus I need an espresso machine to grind the remaining 20 dollar bags of beans by using a 2 grand machine.
Duh !!! 
Wife’s like why don’t you just throw out the beans and buy a cheap machine that uses pre ground coffee. Or better yet just buy a separate bean grinder.
Shadddup bitch !!!!! Get outta here with your woman’s logic

There's always Synesso and Slayer if you want to go American...  Both are Seattle-based IIRC. There are showrooms there that you can visit and try them out.
Seriously though, for 2.5k, hobz should start looking at entry level dual-boiler machines. Profitec Pro 300 makes great coffee and can be had for around 2k. Throw in a nice home grinder at ~600, you've got a great combo. And if you are not messing around with some crazy light-roasted beans and pouring 10+ shots continuously, I don't see the benefit of Slayer or Synesso. These machines are expensive because they've got a lot of commercial-grade parts that don't come cheap. But they offer consistency more than anything.

You’re talking to a guy who didn’t even know the difference between coffee and espresso till I bought the deCrappy machine in Dec last year. I thought they were the same thing…..
I also spelled it expresso as in express my ass to the toliet after drinking too many of them.
It’s kind of a cool hobby but honestly I can’t tell the difference. All I know is that it taste better than instant coffee. I still like trung ngyene in a can though

Also, there are built-in grinders on non-espresso machines too!!
