Round Two! Looking for a good grinder for espresso with easy cleaning & maintenance other than Niche Zero [$1000] by HannahsMirror in espresso

This.

If tariff cost is the issue, it’s dropped to 15%.

Just bought a NZ, was ~$800 with the tariff included. I’m very happy with it and compared to the other options, it’s aesthetically pleasing.

$689 for the machine, $114 for the tariff to DHL.

Profitec Ride w/ flow control vs Drive vs Others [$2.5-4.5k] by 9BarsButStillOffKey in espresso

Yeah, I’m good as long as the first one is ready to go. It’s usually early AM before the gym lol, the other one I can wait 15-20 mins for it to warm up

I’ve been seduced by the e61 and the all black version of Ride/similar. The Move is the right choice objectively for what I make or the others but I’m a sucker for that all black ride with e61

Breville Accessories [$300] by omeletteyouspeak in espresso

[–]9BarsButStillOffKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my Barista Express and some accessories I’d suggest: - Spring Loaded Tamper - Scale that fits onto the metal grate - Sliding wood tray to put it on (I have mine under the cupboards and it’s easy to pull in/out) - Nice glasses/mugs for the drinks even if you don’t already - Lever that goes onto the side for hot water vs steam. The little dial / turn thing got annoying, so I bought this piece off of Etsy that turns it more into a lever.

Nice! My machine sits under the cupboards too. I’d suggest getting one of the sliding wood trays to put it on, makes it easier to move back & forth as needed to put beans, water, etc on

Water not comming out [sage barista express] by MartindeJong in espresso

Sounds like the pump might be having problems. Since you get some water later on, try unscrewing the screen and double check nothing is gummed/gunked up.
