New homebaristas typically obsess about upgrading their espresso machine to the point of occulting the grinder. I have been there and done that (mistake). Anyway, for the budget, it would make sense to buy a Double boiler Breville and allocate the rest of the budget towards buying the best grinder possible!

Agree since you haven't mentioned what grinder you currently have, way better off getting a Breville DB and spend the extra towards a good grinder. What grinder are you currently using though?

I'm currently using a Rocky with new burrs, but I'm planning on upgrading that as well soon!

If it were my 2K I wouldn't think twice. BES920XL and the Baratza Forte AP that happens to be for sale in the Buy/Sell page here. That would be a great pair.

I would suggest a BDB920 and a Ceado E37s. Do the 20% BB&B in store coupon for the BDB and WLL with a deal or 1st line with a deal and you will be very happy. :D

Black Friday is less than 40 days away and we've seen some amazing deals pop up. I'd keep your short list handy and pull the trigger then.
