My first proper espresso setup as an 18 year old coffee snob
After months of saving and slowly getting bits together, I've finally completed what I reckon is one hell of a beginner setup for someone who loves coffee and starts every morning with an espresso!

Nice! Way better than the Moka pot I was using at your age, and have only just graduated beyond some 30 years later 😂

The wood accents make the bb+ look so much better haha. Nice!

Well done on getting good quality accessories. I’ve in the past bought wdt tools that make things worse!

This is solid. I was an idiot at 18. Also, coffee hadn’t been invented back then

That system does it–enjoy the caffeination!

This used to be my setup. Only your black bambino looks way cooler.

Lovely set up. Really keen to invest in a BB+. Only issue is my partner is a fiend for white accessories and Sage no longer offers BB+ in Sea Salt White. I never thought I would have to debate functionality over colour.

Wow. I’m impressed. You’ve assembled quite a nice set-up there… at 18, no less. I congratulate you on the “slow and steady” savings plan you committed to to put your coffee station together. (Saving seems next to impossible these days, so all the more effort required on your part). Well done. You’re also developing good money habits. Enjoy your hard-earned, well-deserved morning espressos.

I have the same set up and it works great.

Can’t remember what I was doing at 18 and for sure it wasn’t espresso making 😂

Being this focused (and classy, if I might say) at 18 deserves respect. Enjoy the coffees!

It took me until I was 41 to get the exact same set up as you. But yours looks slicker!

I like your baratza. Im guessing it just grinds right into the dosing cup? I have the vario but I just recently started using a dosing cup with it. I am finding that the “timed dosage” can yield different weights.
I have a gaggia classic that I have been riding stock since 2014 with a budget tamper. I am going to get a bottomless pf and whole accesory kit here pretty soon though.

Starting adulting off on the right foot!

Is that a French press or what all the way to the right? I’m trying to get a setup similar to yours?
