Hi,
Don't want to start a cat fight, but I am ready to buy. I have $3-3.5 K for home espresso/cappuccino. I am obsessive type 60 yr old who wants to start right with no future upgrades planned (man, I am that old). I am ready to buy, this is not just a mental exercise. I won't...
I know every repeats that the grinder is way more important than the machine, so I pose this question. With around a $2,000-$2500 budget for new equipment, should I get a used Compak K10 Fresh and a new Nuova Simonelli Oscar, or a new Baratza Vario (or used Mazzer SJ) and a used...
