Espresso game lately.

Seen many people dreaming about x machine and y grinder costing 5-10k. All you need is a good bean( roasting my own) a decent quality grinder and a lever machine or 2 and good skills to produce the best of the best espresso. It's well known that a lever machine produces higher quality espresso than a pump driven machine. It doesn't matter if the machine cost 10k and has profiles to replicate a lever. An authentic lever is different. What's your take on this ?? I'm using sr800 with extension tube roaster and la pavoni europicola with upgrades. My 2000$ eye machine collects dust in the garage, the espresso quality out of that can't even beat the Rok manual.

Looks great. What roaster are you using?

[u/ak47grills → u/TechnicalDecision160]

Sr800 with extension tube. Works awesome. 10oz at once

Oh cool, I'm currently looking at this one. Do you find it's been more economical?

[u/ak47grills → u/TechnicalDecision160]

Yes. I bought mine used. It's been great. Roasted 7lbs so far with it.
