Hi All, thanks for the add.
I am a 33 year old living on Westwrn Australia. After a long time my journey from Nescafe blend 43, to pod machines, to stove tops I have now reached my destination. Well nearly. My wife and I have decided that our Christmas presents to each other will be a grinder and an espresso machine. We are thinking that we will spend around $1000 all up. Doing my research it seems that the cost should be around 50/50. I didn't realise the impact that the grinder had on the coffee until researching but now it seems so obvious.
So far I have been spending time researching grinders and there a couple that seem to come up everywhere
1.Breville BCG820BSSXL Pro
2.The Baratza range
3.The Rancilio Rocky range
I like the idea of the removable hopper of the Breville and the reviews say it is a good buy food r the money. Having said that the reviews seem to say the Rocky's give a finer grind. I'm usually an espresso drinker and my wife is more flat white so I don't know if that should lean me towards one more than the others?
I hope this isn't a how long is a piece of string question. Like I said I am new the world home brewing.
Thanks a bunch
