All I need for lattes better than 90% of shops here but on a budget. (~$515)

Bambino - $300

Never an issue with espresso, real issues come from puck prep, these always come out good. Steaming was decent until i started working with a synesso hydra, it sucks in comparison lol but wtv I need humbling.

Opus - $100

Dont wanna hear it, I’m the one who deals with 3 gram retention not you‼️ Couple of spankings then it works great and i got it for a deal as unused open box.

Canister, Tamp, Funnel, Custom Barmat - $30

Girlfriend got it off SHEIN. Considering you find them branded on amazon for 4x the price these are so worth it, you cant mess up simple tech.

Scale - $30

One thing to NOT cheap out on. Much needed for dialing in consistent great shots, with a timer.

Portafilter - $25

Also open box, on amazon. Comes bottomless and with removable spout, gamechanger.

Coffee Bean Mat - $30

Okay i splurged on this, but i didnt find it elsewhere and thought it looked super cool. Sidenote, any barmat its necessary for a optimal workflow, so underrated.

WDT - You already know 😎

Dont wanna be that guy that plugs links and stuff but if u want i can reply about questions
