Good but reasonably priced coffee machine flat white

Hello,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent coffee machine that I can buy for making flat whites at home please? Don't want to spend a lot tbh, refurb is fine too. Not a capsule one but easy other than that. I most love flat whites hence the mention.

Birthday is coming up and trying to see if I can find something sensible proces, some are ££££££.

Thanks

I have a safe barista Pro - it’s not cheap but honestly I’ve gone through a couple of Nespresso machines and nothing stopped me from craving coffee shop coffee. Now, I could happily go weeks without ever needing to visit a coffee shop (and I have 1-2 lattes a day). I absolutely love it. It’s saved me a bunch of money!

Thanks @DisorganisedMummyTurningOrgnaised , that one looks fab. Sadly put of my price range but I really appreciate the reply. Enjoy your lattes!

Sage Barista Impress Express here. It’s fab. Similar price to the one above though.

You may do better price wise buying an espresso machine and then a separate milk frother?

Thanks @minipie , good idea!

My DH is quite a coffee snob but when he's in rush, he loves his Aeropress with filter coffee. Then he just uses a milk frother using one of those hand held milk frothers.
