Hi I'm more of a passive person on the site for the past 12 years or so and have been reading more lately since time is aplenty during the Covid shutdown.
First some background, my wife and I lived in Zurich, Switzerland for several years in the '90s and used to travel to Como...
I just got a linea mini and a niche and we went through a few coffees but wanted to get something that is commonly available, not expensive so I tune my grinding/coffee making skills.

Classic Bar is 60/40...
