My mom wants an espresso machine for her birthday, what’s a good beginner setup for complete newbies? [$300]
Breville bambino & breville smart grinder pro ( ppl in this thread don’t like this grinder but it’s very very easy to use) it won’t grind light beans though, only medium and dark beans.

Sundays are for playing at home
For this machine, I've used a Breville SGP grinder, and it works very well with a medium/dark roast coffee at grind level 6, with a naked portafilter. But currently, I prefer to use it with a hand grinder.

Breville Bambino Help and Local Espresso Beans Needed
Use beans from "Beanery" , buy their organic espresso beans. They sell 1/2 pound. Buy Breville smart grinder pro and grind them at Number 9 or lower. Espresso will come out.

Good beginner setup?[buying advice needed less than $800]
I have both the smart grinder and the encore esp. The smart grinder is better. Anyone that says otherwise doesn't have a direct comparison . Encore is manual, has far more retention and I find more inconsistent. I have to change the grind size on it just getting through a single bag of 250g beans. A

[General Coffee Chat] Don't snooze on the Breville Bambino Plus -- it's a beast!
Its funny really because most people getting into this are told to go super high on the grinder end and while there is some validity to that, I think it also is a little OTT. The Breville Smart Grinder Pro does a great job. There is actually a video online by a coffee guy where he used a smart grind

[General Coffee Chat] Don't snooze on the Breville Bambino Plus -- it's a beast!
Just saw your comment. Yeah, I think the general consensus is bigger and more expensive is better but thats really not the case. The Bambino and SGP as you have seen too is perfectly fine. As for why i adjusted the inside grind setting. It was because I had seen a video online which said it will let

I have both the Breville Smart Grinder Pro, and the Baratza Encore ESP. One of the few in /espresso that actually has both for proper direct comparisons. The Breville Smart Grinder Pro is easily the better grinder. The herd mentality of Baratza Encore ESP being the best low budget grinder is just fl

The Smart Grinder Pro
I have the same grinder. The Smart Grinder Pro by Breville. Primarily using it for espresso grounds… I see in the discussion that it’s not necessarily the best and has some inconsistencies. I have enjoyed it so far but struggle understanding what the setting targets should be… What should the timing

De’Longhi Magnifica S [around 300$] vs De’Longhi Dedica + grinder [around 380$]?
For electric grinders in that range - the Breville Dose Control Pro (also called Smart Grinder Pro depending on region) is probably the best all-rounder at around $200. It has enough fine adjustment for espresso and is dead simple to use. The Baratza Encore ESP is another solid pick around $180 - Ba

Sage Smart Grinder Pro Alternative bis 300€
Ich habe damals die sage smart grinder pro in Verbindung mit einer Sage dual boiler Ses920 als dynamic duo gekauft. Kann bislang weder negatives, noch besonders positives berichten. Die Mühle ist in Ordnung. Partikelverteilung ist ok. Grind by time lässt sich in 0,2s Schritten verstellen. Die Mühle
