Hi everyone, I am looking to improve my coffees for a reasonable amount of money; I have a budget of potentially 600 dollars and I am looking for any opinions people have about what I have chosen.
I have decided on the BCG800 grinder; I was hoping to buy this online to save 50 bucks or so and to match it, a BES840 "infuser" from breville. To note I could not see much reason for the BES820 despite being the same price.
another thing I should mention is the BES840 will have to be second hand or refurbished to fit within budget, any opinions on quality of these machines second hand?
My coffee history is lots of cafe drinking until I moved out of home to student life :P which moved me to drip; then I stopped drinking milk with coffee and I started tasting the coffee much more which led me to the espresso machine.

but hopefully I will only have this breville for under a year before sorting out my options for upgrading; I am new to all of this so I think starting out on a less expensive machine until I get some insight would be beneficial; That is where I hope this BES 820 can help.*
