One for steaming and the other for brewing 😂

It really works though haha

Is there a cheaper setup that has these 3 (grinder, dual boiler) for less than $500?

    Not one that’s worth investing in.

    Honestly this is probably the way to go until you’re spending well beyond like 1k

    No.

    The only dual boiler I am aware of with a built in grinder is the latest version of the Breville (Sage) dual boiler, which unfortunately costs $3000. Dual Boilers without grinders start at $1600.

    What the steaming machine? What do you mean re budget? New or second hand / super lucky deals?

    Hold on, this is actually not a bad idea 😆

    All you need is a fake enclosure so it looks like a single machine lol. This is clever honestly, it’s legitimately ridiculously cheap for what it does

    Had the Gevi dual boiler for a bit. Well below 500 on Amazon.

    It has dual thermocoil that allows brewing and steaming simultaneously. I would keep the Shardor 64 rather than using the integrated grinder. Super solid grinder that you can upgrade if you want to get adventurous.

    Simillar to my setup, using a Dreo BaristaMaker for milk and my GCP for espresso. Should probably pull my ECP3420 out of storage and used that as a frothing machine.

    New Lance video will drop something similar and then everyone on r/espresso will follow suit 😂

    Opening the steam valve cools down my HiBrew in about 15 seconds. Then purge some water through the group head and brew. Whole cooldown is 30 seconds at most.
