Simon B. StøvringGetting an espresso machine is a great way to upgrade your life
Joshua Jung@simonbs Are you still happy with your choice of machine and mill one year in?
@joshua I'm mostly happy. It makes great espresso. The machine had a fault and just came back from my local repair shop yesterday, so I'm still a bit nervous as to whether they've fully fixed it.
The aesthetics mean a lot to me, as it's placed prominently in my kitchen. There's only one other machine I like the aesthetics of, and that's the Linea Mini. It's pricey, though 😬 So yeah, I'm happy 😄
@simonbs Sounds good! I remember you being worried about the mess of espresso-making, so kudos for everything still looking so impeccably clean and tidy. I‘m a bit jealous.
@joshua Oh yeah! I was very worried about that. It turns out it's not a biggie. I do wipe the surfaces after making a shot, though. Ultimately, it's worth it. Even with a bit of extra labor, I'm getting coffees way faster than I did when doing drip coffee and that's a big plus in my book.
