I’m totally new to espresso. I had been using an Aeropress for years and a French press before that. Definitely a learning curve here. After wasting about a bag figuring things out I think I’m finally making decent Americanos and Lattes. I’d say the Americano from espresso is definitely a bit better than the pseudo Americano I made with the Aeropress. Lattes aren’t the best latte I’ve ever had but probably better than what I was getting from Scooters and Starbucks anyway. I imagine that’s probably mostly because I’m using fresher coffee most likely. And I think I have a lower milk to coffee ratio than what you get there with 2 shots in a drink that ends up at about 16 oz. Happy with it so far.

Have fun 🤩
Nice – but I predict that this won’t be your “first” and ONLY espresso setup! Have fun with it.
This is great! I recently got a Baratza too, did you request the new quick release knob? They will send it for free no questions asked if yours didn’t come with it already all you do is send an email to their support. If the knob that holds the burrs has a washer separate from the knob then that’s the old knob and can lead to inconsistent grinds.
Also, what are you using for the single dose funnel? That looks very cool 😎
