upgradeitis - 2006/10/04 12:23 From another thread...

the 'dark side' is more the onset of upgradeitis

I only have a $90 Krups burr grinder
and $200 Breville Cafe Roma pump espresso
machine. I bought it about two weeks ago
and found this site shortly after. Now
I want more, MORE MoRE dammit !!! sigh...

I find myself wondering... "how much better
could my coffee be if I had a better grinder?
a better espresso machine?"

I'd say my coffee is already better than
Starbucks but not as good as the best I've
had (ie. Discovery Coffee). I'm not sure
how to calculate the extra quality I might
get with a $200 to $300 grinder and a
$500 espresso machine.

Where is the "sweet spot"? What price range
will give you 85% to 95% of the maximum
possible from home machines?
