Getting Breville Bambino Plus for steaming?
Update: I found out about the nanofoamer by Submiminal. After watching a few YouTube videos and reading some reviews online I was intrigued to purchase the v2 lithium rechargeable nanofoamer, which seems to be able to create micro foam that's fine enough for latte art, for $57 + tax. Before I pulled...

Getting Breville Bambino Plus for steaming?

Eureka Mignon Istantaneo for drip?
I watched a video from SCG. They said that the Mignon ranges from a fine drip to espresso. It can go very fine, but not the best at coarse grind

Rocket R58 and Rancillo Rocky - do I need a better grinder?
Based on what I read, the rocky will definitely be the limiting factor here. You should upgrade to something like the Vario/Sette 270

New home setup
It's funny I went back and forth on the type of machine I want, and kept stretching my budget. Initially I thought I would just get a SBDU machine because I don't really pull more than 2 cups at a time. But the more I read the more I was leaning towards a dual boiler. I was a bit turned

New home setup

How to recognize good espresso?
I considered Breville before since it has pretty good reviews on Amazon and other sites. But Breville does not seem to be a popular brand here. It's also on the large side. Is this the cheapest dual boiler machine you can get?
