prob gonna go the superauto route but just thought i'd ask the question
I have a Breville Smart Grinder at my parent's place in Vancouver and use it with an old Breville Ikon. Shots have turned out better than I expected on such a POS machine and then the machine broke within days (grinder was probably too good for it.)

I'd pair it with a Breville Bambino but if lazy, get a super automatic lol
Getting a grinder and a machine - the learning curve is steep.
For what it's worth, next time I'm back in town, I'm picking up a Bambino for my parents place.
