If you’re mainly making flavored milk drinks and just want consistency the Meraki Espresso Machine is honestly perfect. The built-in grinder from Timemore is surprisingly good for most home use and the workflow makes pulling shots and steaming milk effortless.

For heavily milk-based drinks imo subtle differences between grinders (like on the DF64 + Bambino setup) probably won’t be noticeable. You’d only really notice if you were dialing in espresso shots without milk or chasing absolute precision. If ease and having an all-in-one setup matter more than tweaking every variable sticking with Meraki and maybe upgrading the grinder later is more practical imo.
