Coffee Machine Recomendations

carlcatane — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 23:33:47 +0000

My friend and I are coffee lovers, and we’re planning to start a small coffee business here in Somerton. Since we’re just starting out, our budget is tight and we’re not sure where to buy a coffee machine from a trusted store. We’re considering a refurbished or demo 2‑ or 3‑group machine. Do you think that’s a good choice? Has anyone here used a refurbished or demo machine, and if so, how was your experience? Did you run into any problems after a year of use?

Thank you so much..

I just broke the water tank for my Breville Bambino Coffee Machine. I've found a replacement online for $125 including postage - outrageous for a plastic tank! Is there a better way of getting spare parts?

As we move into the PP age where machines are throttled at the pump or at the group to alleviate poor grind and tamping technique, are we forgetting that the cup starts with the roast profile!! The more ‘stuff’ we do the further from the ‘truth’ we wander, and I wonder gosh.... I’d like one of those shiny water heating pressure profiling things. But, I’m perplexed. I love the taste of my Bosch-style lever.... will I spend huge amounts merely trying to bastardize an approximation of what I already have?? “Oh but you don’t understand” says the slightly condescending retail employee. “You can roast light and extract all the berry and citrus notes from you coffee, then roast dark and have chocolate and caramel!” Literally minutes of pleasure for a mere $10k!
