I need help, and I need a new coffee machine.
Right now, I have a standard Delonghi Espresso.
I want a machine that can grind and press the coffee.
I'm not a coffee snob; I like to choose and shop for my beans. And I like it when it's fast and efficient too.
Let me know your recs!
I'm looking at Marzocco and Sage, but another better Delonghi could be fine, too.
Unlimited budget.

@dimillian unlimited budget? Oh boy 😊

I would highly recommend a separate grinder and espresso machines if you can deal with the extra inconvenience (didn’t think Marzocco did a combined model).

I have a Breville (Sage) Bambino espresso and I think it’s great, but I need another grinder as my Breville Smart Grinder Pro broke. In hindsight and after getting coffee beans ground from the roaster; the Breville grinder never did a great job anyway.

@andrew @dimillian i support this statement. i had sage barista express and it made great coffee but suddenly the grinder broke after a short period of time and so i had to return the whole machine, which is the opposite of small in packaging, so no coffee for me, not even pre grind. after that no more combined devices for me 😇
