Right - so after a few weeks of reading up on that forum (fuck me - it’s a right rabbit warren for everything coffee), I’ve taken the plunge. I’ve gone with the Sage Bambino Plus coffee machine, which I managed to get for £229 from Curry’s and the Sage Smart Grinder Pro for £200 from Lakeland. I’ve requested a price match for the grinder which was only £175 in Curry’s which, will take the total price for both to just under £400 which is fucking brilliant considering the Bambino is £400 on it’s own in some places.
I was looking at the Barista Express and the Pro which would have been £550 - £600 odd, but apparently the inbuilt grinders on those aren’t much cop. Looking forward to the grinder arriving and getting cracking. Will be giving those bourbon beans a go as my first bag.
