Encore ESP

Search r/espresso for thousands of similar posts. The cheapest decent set up is probably around $/£/€500 which is a sage/Breville bambino and kingrinder k6 hand grinder or a Baratza encore ESP which is electric. Espresso as a hobby isn’t cheap

Vanuit BIFL oogpunt is dat simpel. Aan volautomaten kan meer kapot gaan en die zullen ook sneller kapot gaan. Zeker een DeLonghi. Dat is een budgetapparaat en in geen enkel opzicht BIFL.

I’m using a Breville Bambino with a Baratza Encore ESP....yeah simple setup, but it works well.

Meanwhile you press a button and

There are three encores. The original Encore (classic) which isn't great for espresso from what I've read. It may be quieter though. It has Baratza written down the side and at the base. It starts at about 150. The Encore ESP is 200, and has Baratza written near the hopper. Otherwise it looks simila

Trotzdem eher ungleichmäßige Mahlung, was für Espresso sehr schlecht ist. Das selbe gilt für Sage Smart Grinder Pro. Baratza Encore ESP oder DF54 sind gute "Einsteiger" Mühlen für gut gemahlene Bohnen. Ansonsten Handmühle und guter alter Akkuschrauber
