Tired of my Breville Bambino setup… wedding registry upgrade? [$1800]
Keep the Bambino, buy a better grinder. Edit: additional information Consider what you want out of your espresso experience and how much time investment you're intending to put into things. A nicer espresso machine will have better temperature stability, likely because you're trading thermoblock for

May have taken "Spend more on your grinder" a tad far
I think the most insane legit pairing I’ve seen in this sub was an ECM Synch with a Breville Smart Grinder Pro. I say “legit” because I refuse to acknowledge the Lelit Mara X and blade grinder pairing I once saw

Help me choose a new grinder: narrowed down to two options [free with rewards points]
Breville bought Baratza because they know their own grinders suck. Avoid the Smart Grinder Pro at all costs! ESP or ESP Pro are the way to go. Go Pro if you have the points or extra cash.

Barista Express Impress or Bambino Plus/Smart Grinder Pro [$800]
Bambino Plus, yes go for it. I wish I had known about it before I had bought 2 other cheaper Breville machines. Smart Grinder Pro, please don't buy one of those. I got mine as an almost-freebie in a bundle with my Breville Dual Boiler and it was a a mistake. The SGP is not really good enough for a d

Buying advice [400 USD].... should I get a secondary grinder for decaf and use my machine's grinder for regular, or should I get a grinder for regular, and use my machine's grinder for decaf
Use the better grinder for the coffee you use the most. So that’s caffeinated. If the new purchase is a better grinder - which we have to assume it will be - then use machine for decaf HOWEVER, you may have issues grinding fine enough for decaf with your machine so bear that in mind. There’s an inte

Buying beans advice needed [$20-$100]
The best deal I have found (and I have tried a LOT), is Coffee Bean Direct Italian Roast Whole Bean Espresso from Amazon. I run a recording studio and between musicians and advertising agency clients, I go through a lot of coffee. A few years ago a 5lb. bag was $36. It's gone way up since I began bu

Can confirm: it's the grinder
After upgrading the grinder from Breville Smart Grinder Pro to Eureka Specialita, I was shocked how it tasted so much different, the clarity from the espresso is spot on

Worth jumping straight to the Niche Zero/Duo? Advice Needed
Okay, I am you. I had and still have the Breville smart grinder pro. It doesn't grind fine enough for espresso, especially if the beans are older. I bought a Niche Zero 3 years ago and the difference is night and day. I have never even gotten to the far end of the Niche, dialing in is a pleasure, ab
