La Marzocco Strada X1

I have a GS3 and would love something new from LM to replace it but at this size and price point it won't be what I would consider a serious option. I want GS3 size, 1 group, onboard pumps, onboard water reservoir, price within maybe 30% of a GS3, modern look and features. Amazed that LM isn't

Have a La Marzocco GS3 MP - what should I upgrade to?

Perhaps something that offers more variety in shots ie maybe pressure profiling, I am not a fan of the way that the MP achieves pressure changes during the shot. Also wanting something that looks/feels newer. The basic GS3 design is really starting to age

Have a La Marzocco GS3 MP - what should I upgrade to?

Is there a more recent machine with an internal water reservoir from La Marzocco or even another company that will make a better espresso? Something that the espresso world is excited about? I wouldn't consider a lever machine

Best Olympia Cremina Accessories?

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my cremina with all the usual parts and would appreciate recommendations on which brands are the best for: 1. Naked portafilter 2. Tamper that is a tight fit against the basket 3. Dosing 'funnel' that sits on the basket to stop grinds spilling when dosing. Thanks!

Weber Key Grinder

Looks like a good product. Their language in the marketing so far is using words like 'world's best burr grinder' and 'perfect'. Seems unlikely that they would be positioning this as a better grinder than the significantly more expensive eg-1?

If you were buying a Kafatek grinder and they were all the same price which would you buy (out of flat/conical/max) and why would you make that choice?
