Yeah, I see that the Miele CM6160 and CM6360 are both on sale for Black Friday. Did some reading over the past couple of days on machines in general, still unsure which one would suit me best.
James Hoffman reviewed some super automatics and recommended De'Longhi Dinamica Plus for the money, but the Jura Z10 was the best of the bunch (at a shit ton more money, lol).

Any how, for me, this whole journey of espresso/coffee developed as a curiosity and money-saving measure (I spent way too much money at coffee shops.) It grew into a passion so that became the demise of me.
When I'm at my parents place visiting in Vancouver, I will have a Nespresso but the caffeine content is way too high and its a weird feeling from it. My father-in-law gave me an unused early-model espresso machine (Ikon, I think?) and the thing fucking broke on the third day. Needless to say, it was not worth repairing and he had the last laugh.  |
I posted an ad on Facebook just as a feeler to see if anyone would buy my entire setup. Didn't even realized how much I spent on it until I tallied everything up and I was like
It never occurred to me until you mentioned it, but I've always known that the standard Nespresso capsules have only 5g of coffee (so less than 1/3 the usual double shot). However, the caffeine hit from when I used to drink Nespresso seems on par with how I feel now.
