Hi All,
This is my first post, but Ive been reading for a while, and have been hit with a major case of upgraditis.
I currently have a Sunbeam EM5800 (I believe thats the model) which is not too bad, but Im being let down with my grinder (a blade grinder). It produces ok shots with pre-ground coffee, but when I grind my own I get a very bitter result.
So the grinder has to go. And theres no point in doing things by halves, so I should get something good, that will last, like a Rocky or a Mazzer. But that will leave the espresso machine looking pretty poor beside it - so that will have to be upgraded too
But Im not going to get away with a spend like this!!! How will I convince my SO, who already has the opinion that I follow fads?
Surely theres many here whove been in this position? What are the tricks? How did you get what you want?
Any tips or tricks appreciated.
