Hi all.
Thanks to everyone who posts on this site, i've been learning a lot about coffee! I now want to get my own espresso machine and grinder set up for home use.
We drink about 4 cups of milk coffees a day between us, and like most people want the ability to do a few more at a time when entertaining.
I'm looking for a good quality grinder, which is why i'm posting.
My requirements (in addition to producing good quality espresso of course) are (in order of importance):
1) Easy to use. Must be simple, so that a guest could figure it out! So i'd like to be able to have the dosing pre-programmed. We would mostly be drinking double shots.
2) Quiet (little one in the house)
3) Speed
4) Compact size
My budget is in the $600-800 range.
In case you're wondering what espresso machine i'm pairing it with, i haven't fully decided but i'm thinking of going for the Breville Dual Boiler (why ?! you may ask - well i think as a noob it seems like a simple place to start, hopefully it will last a few years and i can learn more about coffee making and then get a HEX machine in a few years' time).
I've been looking at a few models on line:
1) Lelit PL71
2) Lelit PL44MMT (a bit cheaper than my price range, would it still be good ?)
3) Baratza Sette 270Wi (from what i can tell people think it's a bit noisy?)
4) Compak K3 touch advanced OD
5) Eureka Mignon Silenzio
Anyway, i'd certainly appreciate any opinions or advice you'd like to share.
Thanks
