Hi All,

I've been in the espresso game for about 2 years now and I need some advice. My current set up is a timemore chestnut C3ESP Pro hand grinder paired with a Delonghi Dedica Arte (upgraded with bottomless portafilter, Normcore blind shaker, Normcore pressure tamper).

I am at the point where my puck prep is consistent and my shots are good and I am now at the point where I am looking to upgrade but I dont know which of these is my bottleneck to better espresso (the grinder or the machine) any advice would be great as well as possible upgrade options! thanks.
