I notice you don't havea pressure gauge or hands for the robot. That's fine. But the one upgrade I would recommend if you can is the self leveling tamper. Its really pleasant to use.
I went with Cafelats own advice of the standard model, especially as a non-expert user.
I did look at getting the hands as someone else recommended them for comfort, but where will i put the tamper now! I might get the self leveling one, do you think it makes much of a difference?
The self levelling tamp is easier to use but you have to be conscious not to over do the pressure. I used the standard one for months before treating myself and the output is the same. I upgraded to hands at the same time.
