OT: Portable Espresso Machine Recommendations?

[jkbrwn]

One of the primary reasons I have a Robot is because I only drink straight shots from it. I don’t think it’s the right machine for someone making milk drinks the majority of the time. IMO that’s when you buy a Gaggia Classic or a Rancillio.

I only drink shots and this Robot is exactly what I want. time to clear some bench space.

Cool, thx.
I wish I had the palate that others do. I like espresso drinks with a little milk, and sometimes an Americano instead of plain coffee. But I could never get into the straight epsresso, could not detect the different taste notes of different beans, even fresh roasted etc. It just all tastes like really strong coffee lol.

And I will say, I love the process of using the machines like the Rocket Giotto. But pricey.
