Hi all,
I've had a look around the forums and am after a bit of advice about what I should purchase. There was a manual coffee machine in my recent work experience's kitchen that I enjoyed using and it has inspired me to purchase myself a home set-up to hone my skills.
Looking to spend around $1000 for a machine and grinder. Bench space isn't really an issue, I would like something that is going to have a good resale value should I lose interest.
I enjoy white coffees and definitely want to be able to improve my poor steaming skills (and even branch into some latte art).
I've seen a couple machines like the Breville BES920 or the Lelit Combi recommended fairly often, but they feel slightly out of range price wise. Is there any recommendations for a set up cheaper than the machines above? Or should I make the sacrifice to my wallet and take the dive on one of the above machines?
Beans would probably be sourced from the markets in Adelaide or online. I have no clue where to start on my coffee making adventure, but I figure a good machine should allow me to pick up the basics and progress into some experimentation.
Thanks in advanced for your help!
