Hi,
Ive read heaps of posts here and I really want to convert to making espressos and milk based drinks like lattes at home but Im going around in circles. Currently drinking plunger coffee occasionally (just about to buy some fresh coffee because Ive always wondered why the supermarkets stuff was bad and after learning about it, I now know why!) and drinking instant so I need saved. Im spending too much at the coffee shops when Im out...
My neighbour has a Saeco Magic Deluxe and I nearly bought one of them pre-loved for $380 but after a bit of reading I think I would be limiting my enjoyment of making coffee at home.
Now, Im an impatient bugger by nature but Ive restrained myself which is quiet amazing. I was nearly about to buy a Sunbeam 6910 with free grinder for $699 but it just didnt feel right because I have so many doubts about how long it will last and Im from Scotland and hate wasting money. Yes there are people with success stories about the 6910 but there are plenty with dramas, returns and grinder issues and I dont need the hassle. So I was hoping some helpful folk on here could help me with my first espresso machine and grinder purchase.
I have a budget of about the $700 mark for a grinder and espresso machine. Having something that a noob can learn on will be useful.
Also Im on the Sunshine Coast and Popping over to Pioneer Coast Roastery at the weekend to buy some "proper" coffee for my plunger and to check out the place.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
