I want to be able to make love espresso. Nothing else. Just espresso. So what would be the best, cheapest way of doing this? Which machine would you suggest?

Does a stovetop moka pot count? I know it's not a true espresso but it works for us and is v cheap and easy to use (um, so long as you (a) remember to put water in and (b) remember to put the metal filter plate in!)

Love espresso?

If you use those tiny cups, your aim has to be spot on...

Standard answer is probably a battered commercial grinder paired with Gaggia Classic, bought used from eBay doable for less than £150.

What about those wee Tasimo /Nespresso machines? Good? Shit? Something between good and shit?

Thanks thecaptain, will give it a go.

Mechanicaldope, Crikey and CFH it's easy to see why you are all at home on a Sat night, flicking left, flicking right. You all need to get out more.

Thanks RichPenny and JimJam.

Aww... Come on... It was just a bit of gentle ribbing. Which incidentally could help with your original question 😉
