hey guys, I'm looking to get an espresso machine and a grinder for home use.
Budget under RM10k for both machine + grinder.
Preferably dual boiler, but open to single ones too.
Mostly drink lattes in the afternoons and just espresso shots in the mornings.
Currently looking at Breville Bes920, but havent really done in-depth research and compare with others yet.
Any coffeeholics and experts here? Appreciate your advise
A lot of options for you buddy!
Take a look at Eureka Mignon Single Dose Grinder if you mostly brew a single dose. But that grinder is selling like hot cakes! One of the criteria I took into account when getting a grinder is the noise level and that how i ended up getting the eureka mignon perfetto. (Doesn't wake the whole family when brewing early in the morning)
As for the machine itself, Breville DB is not a bad choice I would say. Consider looking at Profitec Pro 300 also.
As for me, I would suggest considering heat exchanger with lever action (i,e: Rocket Appartamento ). (Mod it with PID and you got a great top tier espresso making machine)
