Site sponsor Talk Coffee is currently selling the K3 for $399, if he has any left.
I have both the K3 and Rocky, they're both great in different ways. The K3 is more adjustable than the Rocky, so I think it's better for more advanced users. The Rocky is a fantastic starting grinder as its so easy to dial in.
Hi Charlie, as a beginner, I probably start with $1500. Lol. Im a espresso drinker, but my wife only having latte and cappuccino, also she loves latte art, she usually take 4-5 liter milk to practice.
Oh, yes, we got a rancillio Silvia with pid in the office, but I just want one better than that~ thanks
+1 for better grinder then the smart grinder, for straight espresso any small burr conical should be avoided or you will slowly turn into a latte drinker
If you don't need a double boiler or HX machine, you could consider a better grinder and a single boiler machine with PID. As an espresso drinker a combination skewed more towards the grinder could give you more in the cup. Or if you can stretch the budget a little you can have it all ;-) There are sponsor deals around at the moment for under $2K that are amazing value.
If you can tell us more about the intended use (eg any big orders for milky drinks or is just one or two at a time? is warm up time important?) you may get more feedback.
Another grinder suggestion that should your budget would be to look at the Compak K3
I believe one of the site sponsors may have them on special too at the moment
I personally had the NS Oscar before and it is definitely a beast. One of the best entry level HX machines around
