K2

What don’t you like about it? Do you enjoy straight espresso from shops? I have the most dirt cheap setup you can get (flair neo and kingrinder k2) and I can consistently pull delicious shots.

Yeah no, the kingrinders are excellent hand grinders for a fraction of the price. My wife got the bambino and we've been using the K2 grinder with good results. She's been making by far the best americanos I've ever had

Manual hand grinders are great for most uses and often better value for your money than electric grinders BUT they can be a chore for espresso. Hand grinding for espresso quickly became a nuisance for me. For all other brew methods they’re great! If you’ll be doing espresso often I’d recommend going

If you have that tight a budget, get a De'Longhi Stilosa or ECP and a hand grinder like a Kingrinder K2 or Timemore C3 ESP Pro. You lose a bit of the convenience of the Bambino + electric grinder, but for around $200 (plus some accessories) you can make some amazing coffee.

Si infinitamente. La nespresso es tirar la plata a full, salvo en casos muy especificos, ponele un consultorio para los pacientes, o en una oficina de un abogado/contador, no te vas a poner a hacer un espresso para los clientes, quedas bien con una capsula y listo (aunque tambien podria ser lo de ha

The coffee from a cheap De’Longhi will be nearly as good as the coffee from an expensive La Marzocco. The coffee from pre-ground grocery store beans will not even come close to freshly ground specialty coffee from a decent hand grinder, which in turn will not come close to the coffee from an endgame

You could absolutely get pre ground beans but there is a trade off Unless you specifically ask a roaster to grind beans for your specific machine they'll give you a general espresso grind meant to be kinda universally used The thing about coffee is that it loses a lot of it's aroma,notes and compoun

Eu diria que 50% do segredo de um bom espresso está na moagem. Impossível extrair um bom shot sem isso. Sendo assim, invista em um bom moedor. Blade R3, Kingrinder k2/k4/k6, Timemore C3s, tem bastante informação sobre isso na internet. Sem isso só te resta usar o filtro pressurizado que vem com a má

The Dedica is absolutely fine for years and years. Learning good technique and having good beans is infinitely more important than whatever piece of metal heats your water. Speaking of, your water quality is also much more important than your machine. No reason to ever upgrade unless you're going to

Delonghi stilosa ec230 and pair it with kingrinder K6 or K2 handgrinder. You can learn all the basics and make delicious shots with these.
