Good morning from Chicago, and my favorite place to get espresso (The Mothership).

I’m trying to make better espresso from home, so I’m curious as to what methods you all use to make espresso at home that you love.

    Howdy fellow Chicagoan. My first foray into home espresso was a Gaggia Classic and a Baratza Encore. That was more than enough to replace my forays into the coffee shops.

    A friend of mine uses a cheap breville and preground coffee and is satisfied, so I think it all depends on how picky you are.

      Always nice to meet another Chicagoan! Thanks for the recommendations. Will take a look!

        Let me know if you have more specific questions as well. I’ve been making espresso at home for about 7 years now, so I’ve been through most of the growing pains.
