I have been banging away with a ponte vecchio lusso and good quality hand grinder for about 10 years. I can make a passable coffee with these tools but I’m ready to upgrade.
I like the look of the ascaso dream pid or maybe kitchenaide or SMEG or even another handsome box with lovely pipes… just not a plastic thing - even if it does make good coffee.
I’m after something I can dial in with some perseverance, but will then provide some convenience once I’m in the ball park with a rich chocolatey bean that’s not too bitter.
budget of about 1K - happy with near new used.
any ideas?
PS- the Ponte Vecchio is a great little machine. I’m just ready to try something else.
