Hey, I've just joined in order to research getting myself started with a proper expresso setup.
I'm currently existing with a bialetti moka pot and pre ground lavazza from the supermarket. I can't really spend more than £500 on the full new setup and would like to take that over a few months so am pretty much decided on a Gaggia Classic paired with a Sage smart grinder pro as I've seen lots for good prices. My main query therefore is which first? Would it be better coffee from the bialetti paired with a smart grinder or the Gaggia Classic with pre ground presumably using the pressurised bask
