Buy an espresso machine that's 5K or save up for a better one in the future?

This is the one advice, OP, that you should take to heart. Start with a good grinder, grind your beans fresh. Tapos kahit entry level espresso machine, like say a Delonghi Dedica, Ascaso Dream, or a Bambino Plus, okay na yun. Makakapag produce na yun ng good enough espresso kung maganda na yung grin

Co pijete za kávu? Jaký používáte kávovar/techniku a proč?

Mam ascaso dream pid, chtěl jsem 58 hlavu. Mlýnek mam nejaky základní classico, ale to jsem prohloupil, na mlýnku to stojí cely. Kávu piju cca 8 porci denně, manželka 4, sem tam návštěva, takže se využije hojně. Až odejde (uz ma 6 let), půjdu do nějakého repasu profi asi. Je to návykový koníček, ale

Upgrade from Rancilio Siliva V5 to Ascaso Steel Duo PID V1 / Profitec GO [~400 €]

I would argue against Ascaso. I have Dream Pid and Duo Steel Pid and both machines are very flimsy. Duo has very quirky steam and Dream is very weak if the puck in't prepped good enough. I would go with Profitec which I would buy if it would fit my coffee corner. I was in the shop for measurement an
