Two months of progress on my latte art journey! From blob to a heart
Thanks man! Trust me, I had plenty of onion shaped hearts before this lol. To be honest, I’m a total newbie too, so the casabrews 5418 pro is actually the only machine I’ve ever used. I did a ton of research in this sub before finally pulling the trigger on it. I can't really give you professional a

Waking up sober is my single favorite reason not to drink.
Casabrews 5418 Pro. Nice compact machine that makes incredible espresso!

Trying To Get Into Espresso [$500]
Everyone is suggesting the Breville Bambino, however the Casabrews 5418 pro costs less (a little under $200) with similar performance a similar fast heating system (its ready to go 3 seconds after power on, 5 seconds to switch from shots to steam). I've had really good luck with it. I also purchased

Barista Basics
Congrats on starting your barista journey! Basically, espresso is all about pressure,forcing hot water through finely ground coffee at about 9 bars to extract the oils and flavors in ~30 seconds. For beans, most shops use medium to dark roasts because they're easier to balance; light roasts can be t

how to make quality espresso shots at home [budget $150]
I’m absolutely able to make good espresso with my new CasaBrews 5418 with replacement filter holder. So all in, less than $200. Frankly, as good as my Saeco and old Gaggia. But I also had just gotten a new grinder (cheap) and the combo is fantastic…again, after I upgraded the portafilter.

I am considering upgrading from Casa Brews 5418 to the Breville Bambino. My budget is [$500], is this a good transition or what would you suggest?
I’ve got the Casabrew 5418 pro with a Baratza ESP and in my opinion from the research I’ve done, the Bambino isn’t a big enough step up to warrant the money. I haven’t figured out what my next machine will be (if at all, honestly) but I think I’ll be buying a new grinder first. If the machine died r

Beginner Friendly machine [$200]
Don’t let anyone tell you you have to spend more than $200. Casabrews 5418 or 5418 pro is your answer. Been using that for about 4 months twice daily with my DF54 and it’s been great.

New setup finally arrived… and I already pulled 3 shots
Casabrews 5418 Pro! super easy. I’m new and still pulled decent shots right away. If your friend doesn’t wanna mess with settings, this one’s fine.

Budget friendly options / consideration to DF54 and Gaggia Classic? [500$ together]
Shardor or Mokkom 64. Baratza ESP if it's $200. Delonghi ECP is great, Dedica is too. Or of course, a Bambino if it's not over budget. Otherwise, you'd only be looking at things like Casabrews, I'd go with one of their higher options like the 5418 Pro, Ultra, or Neutron Pro. Turin Legato is the same

Casabrews Grinder? [$200]
Update in case anyone else is considering this grinder. I did get it and like it. Well made as far as I can tell. I have the CasaBrews 5418 machine. First 2 attempts were no go at grind settings of 10 and 15. Nothing came out of portafiler (which is the standard one that came with the machine.). May
