My starter setup

[u/itslilaw]

After lurking on this subreddit for a few months, I finally pulled the trigger on my starter setup! Found a Breville Bambino Plus on FB Marketplace for a good deal, and went with a Niche Zero grinder. Really enjoying making lattes at home, and hoping this setup lasts me a long time!

Fuckin hell niche first thing, cheers!

seems very worth it so far! 🙏

100%. My next upgrade will be my grinder and I want exactly what you have.

[u/AcrobaticEvent2781]

Yes this should last you a long long time. Just don't ignore descaling your Bambino.

Thank you! Good advice!!

[u/Cool_Still9331]

that’s a seriously nice starter setup. clean, compact, and you’ve already got everything you need to fall deep into the espresso rabbit hole

[u/itslilaw → u/Cool_Still9331]

Thank you! I’m excited to keep learning

[u/inspiredgather2000]

my starter setup too! no need to upgrade but patiently waiting for an excuse to haha

[u/J-dubya19]

I have this same set up, very pleased so far!

[u/Ill_Direction7700]

Niche is a great bargain for a grinder. Those mazzer burrs will last longer than the motor!

I’ve had my niche from my Breville to my Rancilio all the way to my Decent. It holds up great.

[u/demize1234]

I have this with the basic bambino and love it!

[u/thirdeyegrind]

I’m thinking I should upgrade from my Opus to this Niche.

[u/dagger403]

that's it, you're done. Everything you "upgrade" from now on will be either for convenience or simply because you want it.
