What’s the best coffee maker machine right now that Coffee lovers currently love the MOST?
My current combo is a Technivorm Mochamaster and Baratza Encore. They are fantastic. Grind quality 1000% affects taste.The moment you switch to even an entry-level burr grinder like the Encore, you’ll instantly notice how much better the coffee is compared to the spice/blade/bullet shaped grinders y

What’s the secret behind good coffee at home?
Former coffee professional here (sourced greens and worked for a 3rd wave roaster) The best things you can do, without falling into a rabbit hole are: Buy high quality/whole bean coffee, use a burr grinder right before you brew your coffee, and use a scale to ensure a proper ratio of coffee to water

Short answer - grind quality absolutely affects taste. What’s your budget ? A technovorm moccamaster and a Baratza encore is a great set up. Yes better to keep brewer and grinder separate - both for drip coffee and espresso.

Twijfel tussen halfautomatische koffiemachine (Sage Barista Express Impress) en volautomaat (Delonghi Evo)
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. Grote kans dat die binnen 4-5 jaar versleten is. Als je een BIFL volautomaat wil, zul je voor een professionele J

The amount of coffee in the body of my [Eureka Silenzio]
You should see my Baratza Encore ESP lol. Sometimes it is generous enough to share the coffee with me.

Are burr grinders that necessary?
A burr grinder compared to a blade is like drinking coffee in HD. I grind enough for 1 cup at a time in my Baratza Encore. It has a big hopper, but you don’t store beans there.

Grounds come out in chunky clumps? [ECM automatik 54]
Isn't the answer right there: "WDT them away." Not at all uncommon--e.g. I've found that the Baratza Encore ESP can be the same, with my dark-roast beans. Interestingly, using the same burrs, the Baratza Encore ESP Pro produces non-clumpy, fluffy grounds, seemingly as the result of the grinder's inc

Just realized I spent $1,089 at Starbucks 👀💀
Honestly even a solid drip brew machine, Baratza Encore Grinder and some good beans goes a long way too. Less fancy drinks but still.

Best ESPRESSO machine
Baratza Encore ESP and a Breville Bambino. This is a solid, user friendly setup with some ways to upgrade (improved brew basket) and Baratza has long been the industry standard for your use case (you're ready to move into specialty coffee, but not ready to commit to spending your life savings). I wo
