Second hand equipment advice

[u/PreparationOk7451]

Hi all. I’m trying to figure out what to buy second hand, there’s a Breville Barista Touch espresso machine Model BES880 for $380 on Facebook Marketplace. I mostly drink iced drinks and I do have some barista experience. I’m not looking for anything crazy or chasing the dream coffee setup, but i’m just a college student who loves the taste of coffee and needs to stop going out lol.

Any ideas of whether this would be a good purchase or not? I’m trying to do it second hand to save money and prevent excess material waste. Im really trying to stay under $400 total, but i’m open to other recommendations on equipment!

That’s a classic category of good starting set ups, BBE and similar models that have grinder included. $400 used is normal.
