I am a home brewer looking for a good manual espresso machine. I was quite inclined to a Breville one, but it exceeds my budget.
That's when I came upon a Budan espresso machine. The design and build of this machine looks great, and it has a better steam wand than my previous Delonghi C3240 (which had a plastic one).
I want to get reviews from the people who have used Budan before. Any other suggestions are also appreciated.
