Q. There are so many choices of espresso equipment. What general advice to you...
I am moving and it isn't easy to plumb in my current La Spaziale Vivaldi II. I have narrowed my choices to Lelit Bianca and Decent Espresso. I have a Baratza Forte that is aligned so I was not planning on getting a new grinder. 90+% of the time I am medium roast, but I have...
