Managed to get all of this equipment for $350 a couple nights ago; this is my first at home setup and I’m absolutely loving it. Currently dialing in a dark roast from Verve! Is there anything you would recommend I still get?

Edit: Not pictured is my actual coffee bar with Kingrinder and Chemex. People seem to be under the impression that I bought all of these items individually – it was a single purchase from someone on Marketplace. I thought it was an impressive deal, as for the price of basically just the machine I was able to get all of the equipment I needed and then some. The extras can be sold to make it an even better deal and recoup the price.

    I’d say 3-4 more portafilters and you’ll be set

    Looks like someone thought the problem was their portafilter, basket, and absolutely nothing else.

    Just add eight Grinder’s and you’ll be good to go.

    Probably a dumb question but how much difference is caused by different bottomless portafilters?

    If it fits and it’s big enough for the basket you want to use, why would you need a different one other than wanting different looks?

  5. Word of advice:
    Focus on one basket and get it dialed in.

  6. Genuinely curious as to how someone amassed this many portafilters

    Not bad, but a lot of portafilters man.

    You planning to open up a new cafe on the block?

    Personally, I don’t think you have enough portafilters or baskets.

    Find one of the baskets that says VST or IMS and somewhere between 16 and 20g. Use that, don’t worry about the rest. Single shots are for weirdos and puck screens for the weak of heart.

    You’ve got less bottoms than a something something

    Caaa-ooool…. so… how many portafilters does it take to grind your beans?

  13. HumbleLife69

    Lmao the original owner def bought everything he saw on YouTube videos

  14. Looks like the previous owner was a basket case

  15. FabricationLife

    Probably six more Tamps needed for those portafilters

  16. Sideeyebro619

    Damn….you jumped in head first into the dark liquid pool of Espresso.

  17. Objective_Sense_2658

    What can I say…. Find Grinder!

    More money in portafilters and baskets than machines and grinders

  19. On regular days, we’d usually get by with six portafilters. But when we’re entertaining we often pull considerably more shots. Thanks to eBay, we currently own a total of 23 portafilters, which seems like an OK number for our needs. I hate having to run the express cycle just to get through the day.

    Recently I read some people would reuse a portafilter without running it through the dishwasher. Seriously, how gross can you be.

    Bambino doesn’t have backflush unlike Plus. Why does it have backflush plastic?

  21. Knocksveal

    That’s an impressive amount of hardware for what appears to be a software problem

    Only have to do the dishes once per week now.
