Ok, so Ive done my barista basics course and am now looking for a domestic machine on a budget ($400 max!)... Im leaning towards a Sunbeam machine because from what I have read the worst problem comes from using the machine lots which makes the handle fly off - fixed by getting a new seal etc...
Im kinda leaning towards the EM5800 - but would love to save a few bucks if there was a cheaper alternative...
So this is where the questions start to fly....
1. If I do buy a Sunbeam I want to buy a better basket to replace the "crema do-dad) as I think someone called it - Basically it sounds like an invention for people who havent had proper coffee training.... But I have heard that the Krups one that people recommend isnt available anymore? Is that true? Is there an alternative???
2. I really want a programmable machine so I can get my 30ml shots everytime ( I figure by eliminating one of the variables of bad coffee like that I will get better results and can perfect my coffee by concentrating on things like the grind and tamp) but are there machines already programmed to give 30ml shots?
3. Would love to know if anyone has any recommendations on other brands even that suit my needs... Which are basically a 30ml shot and enough space to fit a cappucino cup under
I think thats it.... Please help!
Thanks
