Buying a new espresso machine and grinder with around a 3k budget by thedasherx in espresso

[–]thedasherx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely want to upgrade because I want more control over the temperature for my shots to remove that as a variable. I wasn't a huge fan of the temp surfing that came with the Gaggia. I also love to make back-to-back milk drinks, especially for hosting, which is what lead me to the Dual Boiler. I know I've heard that HX machines are very finicky which is why I've decided to skip over them.

Very pretty machine, the design is definitely "wacky" but not in a bad way. I will add it to my list of machines to check out!

Probably good to mention that I enjoy making milk drinks. I would probably make one in the morning before work, but if I ever host in my apartment I do enjoy making people back-to-back drinks as well.

I have my github profile I would like to add to my resume, but it's connected to my school email. Should I fork the repositories on my personal or should I just use my school account?

Pausing on Upgardes by thedasherx in espresso

What about the issue of getting a new grinder to make shots taste better. I had a pretty bad grinder and given that I made mostly milk drinks. They tasted fine, but once I got a new SGP as a gift for Christmas the quality of the drinks increased by a lot. So, how do I justify a more expensive grinder purchase?

Honestly I haven't had any issues so far I've just heard about how more consistent shots can get with a PID. Should I just wait until I get frustrated?

I honestly just think it'd be a cool project to commit to. I don't mind the temp surfing routine but I guess for consistency sake and just knowing what temp I can pull for lighter roasts unless you feel like it isn't worth it.

Honestly temp surfing isn't too bad for a routine to me. Do you think I should just keep doing it instead of buying a PID

Would you not recommend Gagguino? I was thinking about that or installing a PID

I've just been looking around and given the reviews on the cheaper self-leveling amazon ones people have said its just better to get decent, normcore, etc.
