I've been trying to stay away from coffee connoisseurism all these years but it feels like 2024 is the year where I give in, or build a gaming rig.

Turns out, 2024 was the year I moved away from coffee and instead took a saridon tablet for an energy boost, yikes.

How is COFFEEZA Finero Next Pod Coffee Machine compared to Nespresso Essenza Mini espresso Machine?

I have this. However cant compare with Nespresso as I don't have that. Good enough. Produce decent coffee. Used it for 3-4 months. I have reused the aluminum pods several times with a simple aluminum foil mod and filled my favorite coffee inside and saved a lots of cost.
However, I purchased a beans to cup machine and the coffeeza machine is lying unused with me. Ill put it up for sell, if interested you can ping me.

After doing a bit of research for options in the budget I had in my mind, I bought an AGARO Imperial Espresso Coffee Maker and so far happy with it.

Main problem with cheaper espresso machines are poor/no temperature control, Due to the small boiler and thermoblock they produce very inconsistent heating. I had a Morphy Richards 15Bar machine and I could never settle with the taste with it. At last I threw it in the working condition and bought a Delonghi EC685.

@prime this is what you wanted

There is no budget question here. You want something semi-decent then get ready to pay up.

The high prices put me off. And it was better not to buy cheap.
