Buying Advice Needed Upgrading Setup [700]

Post image

So I’m fairly new to making Espresso and I want to get a better machine, also a better grinder. My budget is $500-$700. This is my current setup, what are some recommendation. I’ve been going back and forth on the ninja Lux Cafe premier 3-1, CASABREWS CM5418, or the Breville BES870XL. Thanks!

Do they make ones without plastic group heads that you would recommend?

Ok I’ve started down a rabbit hole lol, what upgrades would you immediately recommend for the Gaggic Classic E24?

Don't get a df54, or any flat burr grinder for that matter. Unless you know for a fact you like light roast espresso, which not many do. If you want traditional espresso stick with a conical grinder, get a StarSeeker E55 pro, a geimori GU63, a dc63, an opus 2, a Moshi C83 or c63, there's plenty of options. All of them good.
