A semi-professional portafilter espresso machine paired with a great grinder.
I can make coffee at home that’s better than what’s being served in most cafés and I can just have that for breakfast every morning. Felt like quite the quality of life improvement.
I don't do the espresso machine, but the Baratzza Encore for my pour over or Aeropress has been one of my best food/beverage investments. Between that and a bag of different single origins beans a month almost makes getting up for work bearable! 😄
My style, exactly! But even my $20 grinder works wonders compared to pre-ground coffee. I've thought about updating that component but I make pretty good coffee as is.
After getting it, I didn't notice the hugest difference at first as I was learning to dial it in, but the first time I went back to my fav preground it just tasted so flat and stale.
It's given me access to do much great coffee now that I can get whatever I want, and being able to adjust grind to tweak the flavor even more has been great.
For me Bazzera Magica and Baratza Vario grinder some time back. Better coffee than most cafes.
You and me brother.
Which machine did you choose? I went for the Lelit Bianca, never regretted it.
got the breville bambino and its awesome. drip coffee maker has gone into the garage now, and every morning is coffee christmas.
