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

Mam ascaso dream pid, chtěl jsem 58 hlavu. Mlýnek mam nejaky základní classico, ale to jsem prohloupil, na mlýnku to stojí cely.

I would go with Profitec which I would buy if it would fit my coffee corner. I was in the shop for measurement an
