> I imagine “connoisseurs” would try to disagree, but Mr Coffee makes a legitimately decent all-in-one machine for $230 - the One Touch CoffeeHouse.

The Specialty Coffee Association has a certification program and list of machines that have passed:

* https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer

Units by Cuisinart, GE, Oxo, and Zwilling are on the certified list and can be founded listed for US$ 230. One of the main items for certification is getting the water consistently to the correct temperature.

Or you can spend $30 on a dripper and $50 on a (simple on/off) kettle:

With the difference going to a good grinder so you're making coffee with fresh beans.

I briefly looked through the website, does the SCA have a list of "Certified" consumer-level espresso machines specifically? I was disappointed to see that they had certified home brewers for drip coffee and commercial espresso machines that cost $15k, but no espresso machines that I could afford.

> Dozens of machines are submitted for testing every year, but only those that bear the SCA Certified Espresso Machine mark have met our rigorous testing standards:

Maybe there is no list of "consumer-level espresso machines" because no machines have met the certification criteria?
