Hey Guys and Girls!
Ive been reading this site for a while now trying to take in all I can. Still learning about things now.
My gf sent me to become an accredited barista at The Sydney Coffee School as a gift a week back and it was soo much fun making my own coffee. I love my coffee but buy pre ground and have a plunger. Pulling a shot and frothing the milk was really satisfying, although my latte art was an epic FAIL. haha
Im thinking about buying a machine and grinder this weekend and I think I want the silvia/rocky/tray combo from Jetblack Coffee as it seems to last and be really reliable from the what i have read. The only problem is Im really the only one that drinks espresso type drinks (short black, macchiato (sp?) etc) where as my gf and family all drink milk based drinks and i sometimes have extended family over which i will probably be made to make coffee for.
Will the silvia be able to cope with making many milk based coffees? Ive heard its better to have a HX (only found out was that was today
) or a double boiler. How long do i have to wait to steam another pitcher of say, 600ml? Is there another type of machine that would be better suited to my needs for about the same price? (total of 1500 for espresso & grinder machines)
Thanks in advance for all your help.
