Hi there,
First new thread posting for me....do take it easy.
Anyhow, I am currently surviving on a diet of shop grind beans & plunger coffee; And I have been stewing for a while over an expresso machine/grinder combo for my new house. Max budget including accessories is $1000, but prefer to spend less.
I have read enough postings to know Silvia/Rocky combo is a good way to start off, but I can't afford ~1200
So my compromise is the newish BES840 + BCG800. Heard good things about the smart grinder, and the initial reviews for BES840 looks promising. Been negotiating deals around the $680 region.
Knowing I've got a little bit of room left in my budget, thinking should I spend the extra 200 on a better machine (silvia), or a better grinder (rocky or K3 Push)
Any feedback would be appreciated. I am going crazy researching & I just want to go buy a machine tomorrow!!!
cheers,
Mark
