Hed probably suggest buying a used gaggia since they will be more reliable but these prosumer ones are alright with the right grinder

So for $200, you don't get a grinder and it's a manual machine? What am I missing
I am not an expert by any means but I think the pressure/temperature is a big deal when considering output. Also, most(I think) prefer grinders to not be attached as they are usually the first thing to go on these machines and the extra cost usually can't be justified.

On paper, it is a fantastic machine for $200 — pid, pre-fusion profile and 58 portafilter. It is a no brainer for an entry level espresso maker. Amazon's return policy makes it an even better deal.

espresso aficionados spend much more than $200 on a grinder alone. Smilie

I looked into this machine in early summer - was remotely interested because I have 3 other Calphalon appliances; and it's the cheapest machine you can get with an electronic PID (usually, you have to spend $700 and up to get electronic PID). I saw many reviews regarding the super poor quality of the portafilter - in that they glued the plastic handle to the portafilter head, and it's apparently falling off after use. Was a deal breaker because if they skimped on that, what else are they cutting corners on in terms of the machine's guts? I guess you could try getting a 3rd party portafilter - but it might be hard to find one since Calphalon isn't a known name in the espresso machine space.

Not only was I pleased to find out these things even existed, the deal post is chock full of pertinent information! Clearly OP has a certain "I don't know what" about him/herself. 😉

The $90 website is a scam.

I'd grab the model with a grinder if you don't have an additional $300-400 dollars to spend on one. It won't be fantastic but should get you by. Spend a few bucks on an adjustable distribution tool and toss the tamp. They're game changers for an even extraction.

Was waiting for another $399 deal on the Bambino plus, should I jump on this instead? Have a Oxo Burr grinder at home that's decent.

You think this is in the prosumer category?
