Hi gang,
I'm currently on a chemex + handgrinder setup, but ready to jump into the world of espresso. I'm trying not to spend a ridiculous amount (though it's already crept way up beyond my original budget) but I really want a machine that's going to reward me for getting to know it and trying to research and develop my technique over time. I think I have my machine + grinder picked out, but I just wanted to get a second set of eyes on them before I make the purchase in case there's something I've misunderstood or failed to research.
For the grinder, I'm going to get the Baratza Sette 270
https://www.jetblackespresso.com.au/...atza-sette-270
Because Baratza seems to have a great reputation, and this seemed to be the cheapest grinder that Baratza themselves rated as having a +++ rating as an espresso grinder.
For the espresso machine, I'm looking at the Lelit PL41TEMD
https://www.jetblackespresso.com.au/...lelit-pl41tem/
Because it seems to be the cheapest machine that comes with a PID (the Silvia + PID mod would be way more expensive for me), it has good reviews, and lelit seems to be a highly regarded manufacturer.
Thanks for any insight you all might have, and if you think this is a good combo or one you've used before I sure would appreciate any tips and tricks you can give me
