Hi guys,
As you can tell from the post count Im rather new here. Been lurking for a bit though because Ive decided to upgrade from plunger and perculator coffee (which has its place but I want more). Hopefully I havent replicated any other newb posts of what machine to get because most seem to have either a larger budget or a smaller one.
Anyway money is rather tight and while I could wait a while till I could afford $900-$1500 for a machine, Id like to have decent coffee now for no more than about $400 or less.
My plan is to try to find a reasonable machine for a reasonable price, buy fresh grinds each week from Cosmorex/Wodonga/Hansel & Gretel (Im in Canberra), then move on to a really good grinder and grind my own. Then upgrade the machine in the much longer term.
Ive done quite a bit of reading around this and other forums but cant for the life of my find what I reckon would be the ideal machine for me- the Gaggia Carezza. So, is there anything else out there that might fit the bill? And if so, where could I get it?
Cheers
