Within a week, properly stored... You'd have to be a coffee expert* Archived Message Posted by longsnapper on April 25, 2022, 14:56:45, in reply to "doubt*" Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message I went back to Sounder's thread and multiple folks had mentioned having Breville machines. My wife wanted to get a espresso maker and I was trying to decide between getting something like the Breville Barista Pro (with a built in grinder) OR going with something like the Breville Bambino Plus and then getting a stand alone grinder like the Baratza Sette 270. I've never been a fan of the the tv/vcr combo setup Knowing full well that all of this is ridiculous. As someone that uses a $150 hand grinder to make coffee with an Aeropress. Message Thread: follow-up on the espresso thread from a few weeks ago. What Breville machines do folks have?... - shua April 25, 2022, 14:06:47 Barista Express. Only use one kind of beans, so once we got the grind calibrated, it's been amazing* - assassin April 25, 2022, 15:02:23 If you go through a bag per week, getting a bag ground at the shop is an option* - longsnapper April 25, 2022, 14:39:55 You're going to die on this hill, aren't you?* - Sounder April 25, 2022, 14:40:23 It's not really much of a debate. Very few could tell the difference* - longsnapper April 25, 2022, 14:44:15 doubt* - ECEIllinois April 25, 2022, 14:50:08 If I cant grind right before brewing, whats the next best practice - memyselfandillini April 25, 2022, 15:30:54 night before is fine* - ECEIllinois April 25, 2022, 16:04:29 Within a week, properly stored... You'd have to be a coffee expert* - longsnapper April 25, 2022, 14:56:45 I'm just giving you a hard time* - Sounder April 25, 2022, 14:44:32 breville barista touch; use it every day and stopped going to starbucks - suburbanmyth April 25, 2022, 14:20:23 If you already have a grinder, it seems like the machine without grinder would be ideal. - doubledown April 25, 2022, 14:10:49 it would definetly require a different grind, but there's no way my wife... - shua April 25, 2022, 14:13:05 Are you sure she's gonna want to make the espresso and steam the milk? Are you sure - doubledown April 25, 2022, 14:17:17 I love our machine, but some days I hate all of the effort* - Sounder April 25, 2022, 14:23:31 oh I'm totally not sure. I've got a few beginner youtube videos that I'm going to share with her... - shua April 25, 2022, 14:22:06 no milk for espresso, right? i drink americanos so it's a pretty simple process for me* - suburbanmyth April 25, 2022, 14:30:43 correct, that would be for cappucino and lattes and whatever else. For Americanos... - shua April 25, 2022, 14:39:41 you can do that or i add hot water from our sink dispenser..... - suburbanmyth April 25, 2022, 14:42:08 I do it from the electric kettle* - assassin April 25, 2022, 15:16:07 I can't recommend the Seattle Coffee Gear Youtube channel highly enough* - Sounder April 25, 2022, 14:24:01 I would definitely get a separate grinder but do any of the bambinos have dual boiler?* - ECEIllinois April 25, 2022, 14:09:46 no, but neither does the Barista Pro, though they heat the water up in... - shua April 25, 2022, 14:11:24   Searching
