Do you have a favorite hangout?
I had a favorite espresso cafe nearby my office, but I don't go to there lately since I bought my own espresso machine. I'm thinking I will buy another espresso machine named Superkop that can make a very high quality espresso. On the other hands, I don't like a black coffee that much.
I'm thinking I will buy another espresso machine namcalled Superkop that can make a very high quality espresso.
"called" is used more for the names of items and inanimate objects. "named" is more for people and animals.
On the other hands, I don't like a black coffee that much.
take out "a". Talking about black coffee in general, but using "a" implies a singular coffee.

Thank you very much for your careful correction.
I'm still not sure where to put the "a".
I guess I'll just have to practice a lot of boilerplate phrases.

Only very minor corrections were necessary, to bring out the intended flow of your entry. Pretty good, otherwise! (As an aside: I like coffee too, though I don't exactly have the urge to drink it everyday.)

Yes, articles ("a", "an", "the") are apparently tricky for native Japanese speakers. And well, this is one of those cases where you *don't* put an article at all.

I had a favorite espresso cafe nearby my office, but {I don't go to there these days | I haven’t gone there lately} since I bought my own espresso machine.
I'm thinking I will buy another espresso machine named Superkop that can make a very high quality espresso.
It’s fine with or without the “a” in “a very”.
On the other hands, I, don't like a black coffee that much.

You’re welcome. You’re writing very well. Keep reading and writing, and you’ll continue to improve. :-)
I had/have a favorite espresso cafe nearby my office, but I don't go to there lately anymore since I bought my own espresso machine.
I would actually have a preference for "I have" here, even if you stopped going, if this is still your favorite cafe.
"Nearby" is used alone, whereas "near" needs the reference location.
Extra info: "since" can be a synonym of "because," or it can denote a starting point in time. Either one would make sense here, of course
I'm thinking I will buy another espresso machine namcalled "Superkop that," which can make a very high quality espresso.
On the other hands, I don't like a black coffee that much.
Since you are using this expression (on the other hand), it's making a direct reference to the Superkop machine. This would imply that the machine is also very good at making black coffee, which you have no interest in.
But if you just want to make the statement that you love espresso and are disinterested in black coffee, I would say "Although I love espresso, I don't really like black coffee."

Great job. It's interesting when people get into espresso like a hobby. It seems very expensive, though!

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
I still haven't fully grasped the correct usage of words.
I guess I'll just have to practice a lot of set phrases.
Do you have a favorite hangout?
I had a favorite espresso cafe nearby my office, but I don't go to there lately since I bought my own espresso machine.
"near" is more natural than "nearby" here
"go there" is more natural than "go to there"
I'm thinking I wi'll buy another espresso machine named Superkop that can make a very high quality espresso.
"I will" isn't wrong but, unless you want to be formal or express strong intent, "I'll" feels more natural
Here "a" is unnatural so best to leave it out
On the other hands, I don't like a black coffee that much.
"On the other hand" is a set phrase, no plural on "hand"
"a" is also best left out here

It seems like you're a big fan of coffee. I don't drink it, but there's a coffee machine at work and the amount of types of coffee is a little overwhelming

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
You teach me natural-sounding expressions, which is very helpful for understanding.
With boilerplate phrases, the only way is to practice a lot.
