Thanks for your good input. Yes I will definately invest in a better grinder and the Barista school is a fabulous idea. Whjere would I find a Barista school? I live in Phoenix, AZ.
My max for an espresso machine is ~$1500. I will be a 'newbe' to semi-automatics and have no problem...
Hi:
I am replacing a dying Delonghi CAFFE Carmen and would like to get a fabulous cup of espresso. I have a Starbucks Barista coffee gringer.
I prefer metal as opposed to a plastic body and would like a machine that is easy to clean and to use.
I usually drink 1-2 cups of espresso or capuccino...
