Just realize: They call coffee, but unless I order black coffee, anything else feel like milkshake.

And those milkshake are so much sugar with flavor, that make me addict to like tobacco.

I better quit starbuck and save some cash.

Putting the grounds in a sealed mason jar in the fridge will keep flavor for over a year, tested it lol. So what what kind of Expresso machine am I looking for if it doesn't have a burr built in? Do those exist?

There are plenty of cheap machines that don’t have the grinder. My current one is a De’Longhi. It’s a pain in the ass to get the grounds out of the portafilter, but it works. Had a Gevi that worked pretty well but I destroyed it on accident (long story). Anything around the $100 mark if you don’t want to spend a lot. And like I said, these cheaper machines are good for beginners because many have pressurized portafilters that produce crema regardless of how well tamped or ground the coffee is.

At some point I will probably upgrade to something better, but honestly the cheap ones work fine for what I need them to do.

What's a good bar amount? Should I buy a hydraulic press to get that 1k bar? I should message that channel to see if they can make some really good Expresso using their press

😂 I don’t really know, so I googled it.
