Aldi Espressomaschine als Anfänger?
Würde ich nicht machen, das verdirbt dir den Spaß. Meine Empfehlung: Delonghi Dedica mit richtigem Filtersieb und Baratza Encore ESP (gibt's refurbished). Damit kann man schon sehr viel Kaffeefreude haben.

One grinder, two very different beans, what to do
I have the same issue and am handling it in a way that many purists would argue against. I just remember the grind setting for the different beans… that’s it. Technically there is some retention and technically some mixture of the grounds at some point and it frankly doesn’t bother me or my wife. I

Grind or not to grind?
Go with the Baratza Encore for $150It has been a great grinder. Good fresh medium roast beans. About an 18 setting on the grinder and the coffee is incredible. Of course you then need a scale to weigh the beans. Only $10 but down the rabbit hole you go. But so worth it to have that perfect cup of co

Need help for my gamer boyfriend’s 25th birthday! ($100-150 range)
Since mouse and keyboard are covered, a monitor light bar is one of those upgrades that sounds minor but genuinely changes how comfortable long sessions feel. The BenQ ScreenBar is the go-to and usually around $70-80. For the coffee angle, if he doesn't already have a quality burr grinder, that's th

Cafe Vivace ristretto
Conical burrs for thicker sweeter syrupy shots. I was very surprised by the difference in clarity, sweetness, and body between my Baratza Encore (conical burrs) and my Eureka Mignon Zero 55S (flat burrs).

Tigershark stock
I'm coming from a baratza encore, after a few years I like the body and the round Ness in my coffee. I would say the nitro blade has been slightly more clear but I'm still dialing it in. Just threw in the two hand grinders and a Melo drip and cafec papers to try things out. Melo drip is interesting

Thoughts on the Baratza Encounter esp Pro? Is it worth it? [$300]
The Encore ESP Pro is a nice enhanced version of the Encore ESP. Note: the flavor profile is the same--the ESP Pro uses the same burrs as the ESP, and one should expect the same flavor between the 2 grinders, as a general matter. The biggest value is the ESP Pro's 2.2-micron display grind steps, as

End game grinder for majority of espresso drinkers
I still use my ten year old baratza encore with my 15 year old gaggia classic and pull perfectly delicious shots. I don't buy into this obsession with spending insane amounts of money on kit. Whenever I have guests they are taken back by the quality of the coffee, and it's perfectly delicious to me

Well, it was a good run!
In that case if you really want an improvement, consider upgrading the grinder to an espresso grinder. Baratza grinders are good. Yours is the regular Encore that is more of a coffee grinder. The Encore ESP is the espresso specific one. That said, I did make do with the regular Encore for a while an
