So - a decent tamper has been added to the shopping list and I know what to look for if I get a mad impulse to spend more money on a different grinder.
Well - looks like faithfull ol' popper is going to be superceded. Behmor, here I come!
And I don't have to have a combi, so I'll strike those off the short-list.
If my 450 grinder is OK, I might stick with that 'til it dies - or proves inadequate.
But the actual machine - we only ever make a total of 2 cappuccinos per day. From what I've read, I understood that it was ideal to avoid 'appliance store' machines, if possible, and instead go for a prosumer machine.
TampIt suggested maybe a Sunbeam 7000 ($849). Would I be better off with that or something like a Lelit PL41TEMD (for $150 more)
Sunbeam seems like Breville, more of an appliance than coffee specific. If between the two I'd definitely buy the LeLit.
Totally blew the budget out of the water! Happy to report I ended up getting a ECM Casa V machine, a Quamar Q60 grinder, a Behmor 1600 Plus roaster, a BWT water jug + 3 pack of filters, Crema Pro knock box and a Motta Timber Top Tamper.
