Coffee upgrade advice (lemm.ee)

I’ve been pretty happy with my home setup for a while. I have progressed from the Sage Barista Express to the Sage Oracle and never had any issues at all. I recently bought a hand grinder for when I have a speciality blend or am on the road and so purchased a KinGrinder K6. I have found that it is actually a lot better than the grinder built into the Sage.

I am now looking at upgrading to a separate grinder and maybe swapping to a more manual Espresso machine also.

I have looked at Niche and Eureka as well as the Df83 grinders but honestly am a little lost. I only drink Espresso based drinks and am UK based.

I have also looked at the La Pavoni and Eureka machines for Espresso.

Just really looking for some guidance. I have an independent coffee roaster that I get my beans from and like a darker roast and am happy with what I get. I very rarely change blends or if I do I switch between one or two blends.

Maybe experiment with the sweeteners and cream? Like honey instead of sugar. Soy instead of half and half.

I take my coffee black and strong. No sugar or cream for me thanks. It’s really the grinder I need advice on at the moment.
