this? Cheers in advance btw.
Hey which Bialetti do you have? I've heard the Brikka is amazing and produces a better "crema" like thing on top. My roommate has an old shitty one and it does a good job of making near-espresso like coffee, but way too strong to just drink all of it.
Brikka. Not true espresso, but pretty damn close. It's only $50-70 so you can spend the saved cash on nice beans or a grinder.

I had an ESAM4200 and I thought it was rubbish. I think the two main issues where the grinder not going fine enough and the water not being hot enough or consistent. It used to give watery under extracted espresso.
If that was my max budget and I wanted milk based drinks I would get grinder, moka pot and a milk plunger. This is what I replaced my ESAM with while I saved for proper gear.

Note: the grinder won't grind fine enough for a real espresso machine, but it's fine for using with a moka pot, if you want a better grinder the Eureka Mignon would be a good choice.
If I had to pick between the two machines you posted I would pick the Melitta, but only because I already had an ESAM.
I would opt for a Moka Pot if you are into stronger blends. You can also check out the Brikka from Bialetti if you want something close to an espresso with crema.
