What is a good espresso machine to by for under $400?
I recently got a Krups xp4050 espresso machine for Christmas. It was a lovely gift idea but the machine itself didn’t work very well – the water did not come out consistently and I noticed it smelled like burning plastic, so I had to return it. Has anyone here purchased an inexpensive home espresso machine that they could recommend?
*the question should read “to buy” – sorry, typo
This is the one I use, but it’s slightly over your budget.

It’s the cheapest consistently good machine I’ve found.
This is the coffee method of choice for me on most days. As one person said, it’s easy plus you don’t need a special grinder like you do for quality machines.

This is actually the only moka pot that creates a crema to give the true espresso experience. Most machines don’t even do that well.

Hope the choices helped.
