Hi everyone here at coffeesnobs, i am very new to this forum and to be exact this is my first post.
I just moved to Melbourne from my country and planned on purchasing an espresso machine and a grinder. First of all, I used to operate VBM Domobar Super 2b automatic with Compak K3 grinder. I could say that i pulled quite a good shots from them everyday, and also i used my machine 3x daily. I am planning to buy a machine that is cheaper and good here (Because i am not going to stay here for a long time) my budget is around $500 - $800 for the espresso machine and a grinder that cost $200 - $400. I have no problems in buying a 2nd hand product as long as it is a durable, repairable, and the spareparts are easy to find. For that budget, i am well aware that i will not get shots as good as my old setup.
My main problem is that i am very confused with the wide range of espresso machine and grinder that is available in Australia. From my budget, I have been recommended by several friends to check out Rancilio Silvia V3 and a rocky doser, but i also heard that it was very difficult to operate.
So can anyone here please help me recommend the best machine and grinder for my budget?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
