Home coffee setup question

[Gregry254]

At the moment I have a 5/6 year old Nespresso machine at home and I am looking for an upgrade. Generally I will drink a flat white type drink.

Top of the list at the moment is the Sage Barista Express. Is this the best bang for buck? Should I be looking at seperate grinder and espresso machine? Budget around £500-600 mark.

I think the OP needs to outline what his preference here is before people go down the rabbit hole

I was originally looking at something like the Sage Barista Express where you would grind the beans, get them into a basket and make the coffee that way. I have looked at the AeroPress as well as the V60 but keep going back to an espresso machine with steam wand for milk. We got a bean to cup machine in work a few years ago and I wasn't impressed with it to be honest, I can't remember the brand but it was around £500 reduced from £1000 at the time.


If the grinder is the most important part I could splash out on a decent one now and use an AeroPress until there are deals to be had on the Sage Dual Temp/Bambino Plus.
