      Strong, fresh and tasty local coffee in a quality IH mug wearing a comfy IH shirt (can’t find the #)…can’t beat the urge to post the pic!

      The journey is the objective.

                      Great setup @endo if looking for a good coffee/food place I recommend Southsea Coffee. The donuts at Hideout are good too.

                                      What kind of drinks do you prefer (Espresso / Americano vs. Cappuccino / Flat White and other milk based),
                                      how many drinks a day
                                      And what is your budget?

                                      I could recommend you some machines on that basis then, if you want 🙂

                                          Haha, I feel you. 😅 If you mainly want to enjoy non-latte drinks, there’s an awesome option under a grand which goes by the name of Rancilio Silvia and is loved by many and for good reason.

                                          Great price point but still capable of producing exceptional extractions,
                                          Thanks to a professional portafilter system with unpressurized baskets.
                                          Without going into the details, I would try to avoid pressurized baskets.

                                          „The Nudie / APC of Espresso machines“ so to speak? 😉

                                          Another great option, which would probably be my personal pick < 1k, would be the ECM Casa V.
                                          Also a Single Boiler, but with a more premium build. ECM builds exceptional machines!

                                          This would be „the TCB of Espresso machines“?

                                          Both are not build for, but capable of steaming milk,
                                          you just have to wait for the boiler to reach steaming temps.
                                          That is the only disadvantage to a Heat Exchanger system.
                                          But these are a tad more expensive, too..

                                          On another note: The grinder is equally (if not more) important than the machine itself.
                                          Just like with cameras: A great body with a shitty lens will produce shitty pics.
                                          A great lense can work wonders on an average body, though.

                                          Eureka offers some nice grinders at a great price point!

                                          Hope this helps 😉

                                          Use it or lose it.

                                            With coffee beans of good quality and roast and a good grinder you can achieve awesome coffee on many ways. Pour over, French press, Bialetti aso. if you want a perfect cafe espresso it is more difficult, you need a good machine and some time to get calibrated to her….
                                            … and then:
