To ask for your recommendations re coffee machines??

[Cherrytree86]

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone could make any recommendations for an espresso machine (primarily for making espresso martinis!) that produces good espresso, but which is also small and cool looking (in a retro sense)?
Thanks so much!

If you only want to make espresso (for espresso martini) and aeropress would probably do the job. It's not cool looking but is so small you can store it in a cupboard.

Pod machines are also often small and cool looking.

I haven't tried it, but for a small espresso machine, I would probably get the sage bambino. I have a Gaggia Classic which does make good espresso (which also taste good used in espresso martinis) but I wouldn't say it is particularly small or cool looking.

Just get a moka pot. No need for fancy machines.
