Hi,
This is my first post so play gentle. By the way you have a great forum here guys...
Around 12 months ago I purchased a Nespresso machine, thinking it would be a good way to ease into the world of coffee especially, as I really was after convenience. On average my wife and I would drink 1-2 coffees each twice a day from it, and I'd go for a morning coffee at the local shops with the lads at work.
I'm probably not going to make any friends by saying it but I've really enjoyed the coffee I get from my Nespresso machine, which is the Maestria with the steam wand. I'm surprised by the amount of crema it produces and some of the latte art. However, now 1 year later, I'm finding that I want to progress to the next level where I can control more aspects of this art and get more involved in the ceremony of making good coffee.
From my research so far I started looking at the Rancilio Silvia/Rocky (doserless) combination. From what I've read it seems to be difficult to master but when you do it's an incredible machine. Then I started thinking it would be nice to have dual boilers so then started looking at the LelitP L60 v2 and finally now at the more expensive Expobar Minore IV with the dual PIDs. I would probably pair with the Compak K3 grinder.
I guess I'm after any helpful advice on the machines I've mentioned or my situation coming from a pod machine. I think I may keep the Nespresso machine for when I'm entertaining but I haven't decided yet.
TIA
