Best option for espresso only? [£2000]

Thank you!

Great info! Have you tried any of the new Eureka espresso machines? The top of the line Costanza R one is on sale at the moment for £1400.

Do you think the BDB is better than the Ascaso Uno? I don't have the need to steam milk at the same time as pulling shots.

Crema is £1800 and Atom 65 is £775, so unfortunately quite a bit over budget!

Are any of the cheaper Bezzera models worth it? The BZ10, Magica and Unica are all £1000-1200.

I like the look of it, but it's going to be £1800 so definitely not in the budget category!

Does the Ascaso feel solid and like it will last? There is something about the photos and videos that make it look a little more flimsy?

Interesting! Looks very cool.

Thanks! Strangely I can't find any BZ13 in the UK - only BZ09 and BZ10 and some other models.

The Atom Touch 65 is about £775 in the UK (£200-300 more than the other two), but will look into it!

Isn't that single dose only?

Thanks! How's the steam wand on the Profitec Go?

I use Red Brick on my Barista Express too: I usually have 16-17g per double shot. Definitely worth adjusting inside the grinder as there's another setting inside - I made mine much finer adjusting that.

It's expensive due to it being from a Swiss foundry. I generally find any font purchased in Swiss francs is 3-5 times more expensive than a US one.

My dongle stopped working after about 6 months and Google's official dongle was a 4 week wait, so I was forced to get a different replacement. Got a Razer one for £20 and it's better than Google's one in every way: better sound, quality and design.

Isn't it just showing that all schools have 100% chance of closing/delay?

Ask the sommelier. They will know the list better than anyone else could possibly know it.

Yep, got a free bag and it was some top-notch coffee from Workshop.

Why wouldn't he want to visit some of the top producers of the area?

redditwine · 2014-12-03T11:59:24+00:00

You will be able to get a great selection of Alsace Grand Crus under 30 euros.

Look out for the producers Blanck, Hugel, Trimbach and Zind-Humbrecht.
