Always the way with this sort of thing :(! I've really done it on a budget, I have a delonghi Dedica and Ascoso i2 grinder (took a hell of a lot of trawling to get those) that cost around £110 for that second hand, I've since spent another £40 on tamper, non pressurised filter basket, steam wand (to replace the panarello wand) and various other bits, still tinkering to get a decent cup of coffee out of it, not to mention the faff and clean up lol! I love a tinker so not bothered right now and I'm sure I'll get there but that is the trade off on that kind of budget!
Ooh, still need to get a knock box as well, so if anyone is selling one cheap cheap, let me know!
Cheers! Maybe I'll have to find a bigger budget!
