The Rancilio Silvia.

Gaggia Classic Pro, modded with Gagguino or Gaggimate. Only downside - single boiler.

My Breville Bambino Plus was cheap and produces a pretty reliable shot.

The Dedelonri I bought in Vietnam for $20. It’s a Chinese fake of a budget machine. But it has insanely high pressure and produces way better coffee than anyone finds reasonable.

But secretly, I think it’s all just the super fresh high quality beans that you can buy in Vietnam. They cultivate a regional variant of arabica in their highlands. And even using a standard Bialetti Moca cup produces exceptional results with that coffee.

Gaggia.

I've got a DeLonghi Dedica Duo which makes much better coffee than it has any right to... And it's very cheap.

Even can adjust temperature and shot water volume...

Delonghi Dedica!

Breville Barista Express probably.

putting milk in your coffee haha
