* 2013: Nespresso Citiz
* 2013: Nespresso with built in milk frother
* 2015: Breville Oracle
* 2016: Breville Oracle with Barratza Vario
* 2017: Linea Mini with Baratza Vario
* 2017: Linea Mini with HG-1
* 2017: Linea Mini with Monolith Conical

Hopefully the upgraditis stops for awhile!

Hahaha, awesome! I reckoned I'd save money by going from a Bialetti stovetop directly to a Linea Mini

The only known cure is owning ALL the machines and grinders. No one yet has been cured. I will keep the research going, though.

You know it's funny because I was just saying "there isn't another grinder I would ever want! I would upgrade my machine before I ever get another grinder" and then... "well maybe the Monolith flat"

The idea of a lever machine sounds interesting as well. For now I'm going to work on exploring the world of great espresso!

They should require warning labels about upgraditis when purchasing espresso machines. "This product contains magic that is known to the state of California to cause wallet and marriage loss."

Unfortunately CPU does not provide immunity to that even more pernicious affliction, Multiple Machine Acquisition Syndrome (MMAS).

Great set-up!

I'm waiting for test results to see if my wife is suffering from the same affliction (MMAS) so that I can 'spring' into action and while not curing the disease, I can at least treat the symptoms.

I dig the table man! Especially the color... Reminds me of being inside 49th Parallel up in YVR.

After three years without making espresso at home, I bought a new-to-me Linea Mini today. I am very excited, and quite caffeinated too...
