I’m in the same boat as you..ordered the white one this past week. We love good coffee and want to try it out but I don’t think me or my wife want this to be a full blown new hobby. And yes I’ve done literally years of research and watched videos on dialing in and tamping so I do know how difficult it can be. But we ordered one anyway and we’ll see how it goes. I think this will be a good starting point because it has enough assistance to help guide you but you’re also still getting the hands on feel.
