Is this the best ULTRA budget espresso setup?

[Chloe]

De’Longhi and a 80$ grinder. Only 170$ 😊 had mine for 4 years now and do not intend to upgrade until it gives out!

I have the Casabrews and it works pretty well, especially for the price point

[GlitterGuru]

I have this model with an Encore ESP. Great coffee so far!

[iainansell]

i got a casabrew in the UK looks a bit different though, how would i know what bottomless portafilter would fit?

Over here chilling with a salton espresso maker from the 70s or 80s because it was free 😂

Best budget setup in India includes a dedica 685 espresso machine, a bottomless portafilter, and other accessories. The grinder is MHW-3Bomber R3, which is top-notch. I’ve been using it for a while now, and I’m super impressed with its performance. The whole setup is definitely worth the price, which is between 40 to 42k rupees.

Thanks for the tip! Any chance you could provide the link for the bottomless portafilter and single-wall basket?

[christinajudson]

What size is the bottomless portafilter?

[GinjaNinja]

I just got a cm5418 and it's pretty good, especially for the price. I ordered a bottomless portafilter when i got it and should be in soon

[brandonhinson]

Which bottomless portafilter do you suggest for this model?

[brookebbrooklynn]

Do you recommend for a bottomless porter filter?

I just purchased a 2008 Saeco Nina for $13 CAD from the thrift store a week ago. It’s taken some trial and error, as well as a good descaling, but I’m starting to pull some banger shots. I’m very happy with it and the $13 price tag can’t be beat

What portafilter did you swap for? Can you use any that are 51 mm???

[sowwhatlxxxvii]

Idk what I’m looking at or what you’re talking about but I just want a good espresso machine enough to make me some daily without breaking my pockets completely. What do I do?

[jamesmurdoch]

I have this set up but with a delonghi dedica i got second hand with a better portafilter and steam wand and it makes great coffee, especially for darker roasts

[liyanlamyla]

Is there another portafilter you recommend? The one in your wishlist is currently out of stock 😞

[JayLeePoe]

I'm curious what a hot espresso King thinks of we of The Dark Continent, _who grind our beans 1 notch left of Finest, employ a French Press of max capacity + cannabis chocolates & dilute for iced coffee (which also helps shock it)?_ Experience wise, it tastes like Roasted Midnight.

[reeferfranklin]

Bed Bath & Beyond has one, the Brentwood GA-135BK for only $53, rn, steam wand & all.

[ajpro]

what portafilter + bottomless basket were used here?

Helpful video! Honestly didn't know what component made the most difference. How would you rank the contributions to flavor/price on the other expresso machine components?
