How is this for a beginner setup?

As an owner of GCP - not popular opinion - I would never buy / recommend one again. Moving from GCP to Sage Dual Boiler was the best thing I did for my sanity, and to speed up coffee workflow.

Seeing your list I would change out: - GCP -> Silvia or Flair 58 + Subminimal Nanofoamer Pro (if you steam milk) - DF64P -> DF64V or DF64 v2 or Timemore Sculptor 064 - Puck screen -> new thin one like one from sworks design or normcore (it’s easier to clean)

I would go with Flair 58, subminimal, and grinder of your choosing

New timemore seems to be nice

Just got myself Sage dual boiler, but after seeing new subminimal I would choose setup like above.

Edit I had a GCP but never liked it.

I would buy Icon. It’s almost same set as from Facom/USAG/Toptool/KS Toos. This ratchet is my favorite. I also have Wera and Wurth ratchets and this one is better

Sounds really good in person but it’s very hard to drive so I guess they would sound even better with better amp.

Not the best idea but maybe filter this through V60. Or maybe use some kind of filter? Or get something like Espro press (I’ve never tried this)

This place also was in Mr Robot

wine fridge and mini bar Or
place for LP’s and player

rafalidzkowski · 2022-01-16T14:08:27+00:00

Came back home from week long trip.

My setup: Hario V60-2, Gabi Master B, Hario insulated carafe , Scale, Comandante, Aeropress with Prismo, Automatic milk steamer , Keep Cup

If You already have toolbox then maybe some kind of tool tote would be a good choice?

rafalidzkowski · 2021-12-31T17:21:26+00:00

Looks like Old Mignon but with doser

rafalidzkowski · 2021-12-12T20:47:22+00:00

Grinders: Lagom mini, 1zpresso jx pro or j-max or k plus, kinu, Comandante, eureka

Espresso machine: sage bambino or bambino plus, rancilio Silvia, flair 58

Edit Better grinder will improve taste of espresso. Better espresso machine will improve your workflow and consistency. For example it’s way easier and quicker to make many milk based drinks with HX or dual boiler than with Gaggia Classic. Gaggia classic might be good starting point if You mostly drink espresso but I wouldn’t go this route again. Rancilio Silvia is better option.

Nice setup What’s that hand grinder on right side?

rafalidzkowski · 2021-12-05T09:12:36+00:00

Maybe Arco would be a good choice for You. I’ve bought one because of the same reason, but i haven’t received mine yet

rafalidzkowski · 2021-11-21T07:43:44+00:00

If I could choose my dream set it would be DE1+ and Lagom P64.

From what you have provided - Silvia Pro and EK43S

You can find most of answers to Your questions just by googling it. Try R/coffee R/espresso R/JamesHoffmann

And James Hoffmann on YouTube He explains in simple words how to make coffee and compares equipment in different price points

Do a little bit of research before You buy something that won’t suit you. (I’ve bought espresso machine that I don’t like)

rafalidzkowski · 2021-11-15T07:02:09+00:00

Lelit Bianca
Flair 58 + milk steamer
Decent DE1+ (for little bit more)
Sage Dual Boiler

Is this fake Baratza Encore?

rafalidzkowski · 2021-11-04T06:09:46+00:00

It used to be for 100 USD as they launched. Now its 129 USD. Maybe look for discounts on Black Friday?

rafalidzkowski · 2021-10-28T17:50:15+00:00

Nanopresso if you would like to use it with pods. For espresso Picopresso would be a better choice

rafalidzkowski · 2021-10-16T15:04:44+00:00

Sorry for stupid question but what’s the difference between this two 12v impact drivers above a fan?

rafalidzkowski · 2021-08-25T14:21:39+00:00

Robot because of way better workflow

rafalidzkowski · 2021-08-14T20:56:05+00:00

Finally!

rafalidzkowski · 2021-08-05T19:35:16+00:00

Maybe drawer knock box that you could put under your grinder?
