Hey fellow coffee lovers. As the title says, I’m about to ditch my Nespresso for various reasons.
I cannot find a decent coffee shop near me and I’ve decided to take on making my own drinks at home.
I started on some research on what I absolutely need as well as some optional equipment.
For reference I live in France, and I think my total budget to start with would be around €1k.
I mainly drink milky drinks and would be interested in learning latte art as well. On average, I make coffee for 2 people, around 2 per day.
This is what I have so far:
- Coffee grinder - from my understanding the grinder can/should be on the expensive end
- Espresso machine - something simple enough to use with a milk steamer
- Portafilter - do I need to buy more than one? not sure about this
- Milk jug - I assume something from Amazon would do the trick
- WDT & Tamper - not sure where is the best place to buy these
- Scale with a timer and grams that show decimals
- Puck screen
Optional: Dosing Funnel - this is the only optional item I found (imo)
So, any suggestions on brands/websites or even some general tips before starting this journey would be extremely helpful!
Cheers 😊
