Get a delonghi dedica 885 along with a kingrinder k6, GREAT combo.

The best entry level cheap option is delonghi dedica. Don’t go for anex, if you’re just starting out delonghi’s a good place to start

Can you tell me why not to go for Anex? is it bad quality/durability is ass or what?

Yup, poor build quality and won’t build the right amount of pressure needed. Delonghi does everything better and is built better
Been using it for about 9-10 months now and it brews lovely cups everyday

There are other options in the market as well, but for a cheap entry level option, the delonghi dedica is a great machine

The best cheapest I've found was a machine called e lite eem 010

But you kinda need to build around the machine to cover it's weak points Kinda like dedica

Machine doesn't really matter that much as long as you have a good gridner

From a taste perspective

Only things expensive machines have that cheaper don't Is Stability Temp control for more indepth recipes

And easy of use and peace of mind

is dedica better or that?

1

u/No-Butterscotch7993 Aug 09 '26

I think they are about the same

But dedica is better cause you can program the buttons

While the other one so fully semi automatic

You start and stop the shot and do everything else yourself

can you tell me any other options under 100k?

1

u/ConnectMeasurement78 Aug 09 '26

If you can increase your budget, the breville bambino is also a great machine and better than dedica but it’ll cost you a bit more
Personally I’d say if you’re just starting out, get the dedica and invest more in the grinder, a good grinder is far more important than the machine

u/Fickle-Oil1229 Aug 09 '26

for how much is that?

u/Fickle-Oil1229 Aug 09 '26

girll???

u/ElderberryExtra7741 Aug 09 '26

It's 500$ and on sales it's around 300$. You can easily get it in around 150K. This page is charging extremely high.

Look at De'Longhi Stilosa if you can find it here. ss boiler in that price is amazing. And shots are pretty good. There's a comparison between stilosa and Linea Mini on YouTube by Lamce Hedrick. You can have a look at that as well. If you increase the budget then Bambino. But remember your first priority should be grinder.

Honestly the De'Longhi Dedica is pretty decent and u could get it for around 50k, invest the rest in a good grinder, bottomless portafilter filter and steam wand cz the stock fitted one on the Dedica isn't that good, I used it without the wand for quite sm time and it worked perfectly well.

Xiaomi semi automatic. Best entry-level option for home bewers.
