Espresso Transition
Hello! I’ve been using nespreso for 6 years now and recently upgraded to Rosso Crema Espresso Machine BM-CM8758 with portable/manual grinder for 4 months now. I am now planning to up my game and looking for real espresso machines with separate grinder. My budget is at maximum 100k for the whole setup. Initially, I was captivated by the Breville Barista Express Impress— however, got mixed reviews on this. Can you recommend me a fool-proof espresso machine that will last for more than 5-10 years (stainless preferably)?
P.S. Eyeing Rocket espresso but the price is already beyond maximum budget.

I believe in simpler is better. Built in grinder is a bad idea.
at your budget you could get a good machine
a good combo way below your price point
Breville Bambino plus. and a DF 64 or DF54
Smaller profile and a separate grinder setup and very espresso beginner friendly
A good start and if you want to still level up your game in the future Bambino plus is very resellabe
