I posted here but neither you or anyone else answered
Now a few more questions as my desire for the best I can make in my budget. I read that taking out the pressure valve piece on the porta filter will give a truer shot, but it might take some adjusting to get true crema. The second and really bigger one, the machine has a frothing aid which I really have already begun to loathe. The only place I've seen offering a steam wand tip in 6mm is in the UK. Would going this route be worth the probably 20 bucks after shipping for better micro foam? |

Another eBay deal; http://www.wholelattelove.com/DeLonghi/ec155.cfm
A big portion of this I'm sure is the learning curve of becoming a home barista (I hope) |

Oh, ok. Don't bother upgrading that too much, just use it and enjoy until it breaks, or you break it . That steam nozzle could help, sure. Try it, then when the time comes ask me what to buy. A 'good' upgrade would cost $500 total, new machine AND grinder, and you could start with just the $200 machine. Huge difference.

I still have the basket, but I took the machine back I think it is 51mm. I think people are just imaging they get better espresso from a cheaper machine. Only real reason to replace is if the pressurized becomes clogged. Last edited by AllAWD; 11-21-2012 at 09:51 AM. |
