Not sure about $100. That’s a push.
I have a cheap (but not that cheap) Delonghi Dedica which is a bit plasticy in places, but makes pretty good coffee. We bought it because it’s narrow and fits on our limited kitchen top. It’s about £180 if you can go higher.
For me, it was a huge step up from a mocha pot. Despite trying all the tricks, for me a mocha pot always made bitter coffee.
Have you tried second hand?
I can’t take any headphone with a battery seriously because it’s on borrowed time the moment it’s manufactured.
Why spend more than £50 on a headphone with a battery that won’t hold charge in 2 years? It’s not like they make the battery easy to change.
