Simple daily setup with my Bialetti moka pot and glass V60 dripper. Moka for rich brews, V60 for clean pour-over. Loving it.

I’m looking for a budget coffee machine for home.

I’m not sure what’s the better option here.

Should I get the breville barista express for $588

Or for a little more money and bench space I can get the breville bambino and the smart grinder for $700

The prices are in Australian dollars and I’ll

Recently upgraded from Chemex and Baratza Encore to Fellow Opus 2 and Stagg XF pourover plus Oxo ORB. For the first time at home I was tasting fruit notes in coffee. That made me wonder what I was missing from my Philips 4300 superautomatic and to see what was possible with an endgame grinder. So here’s my updated coffee and tea station.

I got divorced a month ago and… here it is

Hey guy's, I've been working in a coffee shop almost entire life, making coffee starting at the age of 12. Now I've quite my job as a barista and have moved onto a new career. That part doesn't matter, the part that dose is now I want to buy my own at home coffee set up and I don't really know where to start. I've tried the breville oracle double boiler that my parents have an its a bit to automatic for me. I've pretty much always worked on Sanremos and la marzocco and really enjoyed them. Maybe a sanremo absalute might be nice. I want something with the larger commercial sized basket. Adjustable out and temp like on a commercial machine but just at home. Can anyone help with suggestions that would be great.

I love waking up to this every morning.

Espresso machine: Profitec Move

Grinders: Fiorenzato Allground Sense and Mokkom 64

Kettle: Cosori

Pour Over: Hario V60

Filter Drip: Breville Grind Control

I hope I have finally managed to reach endgame before my wife murders me.

I was only got a Breville Barista Express last year and now here we are.

My everyday grinder is now the Fiorenzato. But I decided to keep the Mokkom 64 on the station for single dosing decaf and occasional specialty.

I am fighting the temptation that I would like a higher quality single doser. But I might just put SSP burrs.

Hi guys,

Anyone familiar with this coffee machine? I’m looking for this capsule machine. I already contacted Sjorstrand but they said it is not available on the market. Is there someone who can tell more about this machine?

Thanks in advance

Phase 1 of Kitchen/Downstairs remodel finally finished. Now have a home for my KF8!

Mine is more tilted towards pour overs, but still can get a pretty good espresso.

Grinders:
1Zpresso: K-ultra and ZP6.

Fellow kettle.

I'm a repeat poster but this is likely the final evolution. My Gaggia previously sat on top of the knock box, meaning I had to move the tamp station to dump my puck and that was just annoying. I'm obsessed with keeping a tight footprint, so this took a bit of thinking to keep it from encroaching on counter space. I've lost a little bit of usable space on the kitchen mat, but worth it in my opinion.

- Gaggia Classic w/ Gaggimate, 3D printed drip tray that fits a BOOKOO Themis mini, 3D printed steam wand lever, and portafilter hook
- Mazzer Mini w/ ARO slow feeder

Pourover setup sits on the mat and consists of a Fellow Stagg, Hario Switch, MHW-3BOMBER mini cube 3.0 scale, and Comandante C40.
