Hi all,
The girlfriend is offering a machine up to $500 value for an upcoming gift. She doesn't like coffee (yet!) but is eager to get into it. I have heard that the grinder is very important so I thought I should consider a lower end machine with a higher end grinder rather than vice-versa?
Low-end
$281 - Breville Cafe Venezia BES250BSS ($189) + Sunbeam EM0440 grinder ($92)
$291 - Sunbeam Cafe Crema EM4820 ($199) + Sunbeam EM0440 grinder ($92)
(or add $249 for the Breville Smart Grinder Pro BCG820BSS)
Mid-range
$390 - DeLonghi Dedica EC680M ($298) + Sunbeam EM0440 grinder ($92)
$391 - Sunbeam Cafe Barista EM5000 ($299) + Sunbeam EM0440 grinder ($92)
Upper-end
$491 - Breville Duo-Temp Pro BES810BSS ($399) + Sunbeam EM0440 grinder ($92)
$498 - Sunbeam PU6910 (EM6910 and EM0440 grinder)
I'm leaning toward the PU6910 but would be happy to be convinced otherwise!
