My experience with espresso - the machine is less important than the grinder.
- whitehexagon 4y agoI was lucky enough to get to play with a few coffee grinders recently, and also came to this conclusion. I now have an old commercial on-demand grinder with new burrs and the extraction and crema are a huge leap above my old pro-sumer model.

- whitehexagon 4y agoSage to Cunill tran? and now a Compak OD. The electronics are a bit faulty (forgets settings) and I had to invent a replacement missing hopper, but very pleased with the shots.
- ubermonkey 4y agoI dunno. certainly there's a point of diminishing returns above, say, $1500 on the machine, but there's a host of fantastic grinders at $500 to $700 that do a GREAT and consistent job with espresso. If you're handy and don't mind fiddling, you can get by at even lower levels (say, $200).
