Espresso Machines and a Good Latte

I'm contemplating getting an espresso machine for the RV. Tried as I might, I can't fall in love with my husband's coffee. I want a tasty latte. Does anyone know of a good, affordable and small espresso machine that would make really good lattes in the RV? Thanks!

Part of the enjoyment of RVing is seeking out the various Starbucks for a latte. We are addicted, so we do it often. That aside, we have a Gaggia espresso machine and steamer for making our own lattes, but those are not under the inexpensive category.

we use a Keurig K Cup in the coach (and at home)....most consistent cup of coffee I've ever experienced, the DW gets the coffee (hot water, tea(s), hot chocolate, cider, etc) that she wants and i get the strength of coffee that i want.

there are lots of espresso grinds available - K-Cups Espresso(s)

The Nespresso line is what we have, for the money it is hands down the best equipment for both home and RV.

We carry an old Starbucks machine in the trailer and have a Jura Compresso for home. Both are excellent machines. Might check around for a shop that sells used one.


What Starbucks model do you have? I've read people having problems with those...you haven't had any issues with it?


Its about 10 years old and works perfectly. They no longer sell it though. Have never had a problem.
Might do a web search for ratings and buy one of those

We use a Saeco Syntia Focus that we bought at Costco last year. I'm not sure what you call "affordable" but the small size, low profile and easy to access water and grounds servicing was a good choice for us. Fits on kitchen counter without having to take it in and out to use it or service it.
