Hello All - Im brand new and needing expert opinion regarding purchasing a quality espresso machine and grinder.
Facts: I have around 3k and love being hospitable.
We will at times need to make 50 coffees (from short black all the way through) in quick succession and at other times just one or two.We will enjoy perfecting the art on the one hand but will need to be able crank out the coffees on the other.
The local merlo coffee shop is doing the ECM giotto and Mini Mazzer for $3,100 and they also have various Bezzera models. 2 of my friends have the La Scala Butterfly and we love the coffee they make. Value for money is a key element.
Who knows?
Any expert opinion will be appreciated.
Thanks
Smackeroo

I reckon youd better have a chat with one (or more) of the site sponsors here. Not only will they give you good advice but Im sure theyll do you a good deal too.
