  • Possibly asked before and sort of off the back of the sage barista express chat.

    I've just inherited some money and want to upgrade from my basic Delonghi machine and basic burr grinder. Late to the V60 game and I'm mainly using that over the Delonghi in recent months.

    £1000 maximim for grinder and machine, what do you guys recommend?

  • I would be tempted by a niche. A lot of the frustration I have with espresso is dialing it in and wasting coffee waiting for the change in grind to come into effect, then overshooting because I haven't waited long enough and adjust again.

    We got a second hand fracino cherub and quamar m80e for just over £500. We get coffee that we enjoy and if I was to upgrade it would be to have it plumbed in and how it looks rather than taste!

    You'll probably want to hold back a bit of money for some milk jugs, cleaner, a tamper too!
