Hi all, I always liked coffee but for the last year or so I've actually started looking into the brewing side of things. I've experimented with some good home brewers. My favorite so far is the Aeropress.

Anyway, I think I'm ready to get my first espresso machine. I'm a student, so kinda tight on budget. Around $500 is what I can spend on it right now. Can the more experienced people give me some suggestions? I'm happy to get a second hand machine if that's a reliable option.

Or should I just wait a few more months and save more money? Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

I have the Kingrinder K4 which I think shares the burrs with some of the 1zpresso range. The speed is great. Take me less than a minute to grind 18g for a shot. Plus the number of clicks it has is crazy.

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
