Is it worth upgrading? Lend me your wise opinions [$8,000]
Hello everyone. Greetings.
Lately my social media algorithm is pointing me in the direction of wanting to buy a La Marzocco mini. I had considered it before but didn’t as the wait times were months in advance. I found a local spot that stocks them and now it’s looking like a possibility of wanting to get the machine as before lead time was making me less inclined.
My current setup
Breville Impress
EG-1
My work flow is pretty good. I wdt. I measure everything. I rdt . I have my own water recipe I use for good extractions. My espresso and drinks are already pretty good.
What value would a LMLM add to the quality of espresso and drinks I make? Am I going to notice any tangible difference?
I have a chemical engineering background so when I first started I knew particle size distribution was more important, same reasoning id use in say a packed column for those of you who know.
Me spending 8k doesn’t really affect my finances. I just want to know that getting LmLm is going to make my espresso better by a measurable margin. Need some kind of justification besides the impulsive feeling I get for wanting to spend money.
