It also has a direct feed system so it requires very little maintenance.

I've had my Rancillio for probably 10 yrs and it pumps out great espresso every day. With this set up, making a near perfect cappuccino doesn't take much more time than a drip pot in the morning.
I'm partial to Counter Culture beans. They are single lot roasters so the farms they source from rotate throughout the year.

It is kind of fun to get the different tastes from the locality, the drying method, the time of year, etc. They do a pretty good job describing what you're in for with each lot so you can pick and choose to your taste. My go to "standard" is their big trouble. Makes a great espresso with lots of crema
And funny, I looked at my knives after the discussion above and realize my block holds them sideways |
Counter Culture is good stuff.
If I ever end up with the counter space to do a plumbed machine, I'd seriously consider what I used to use at my last job -

Pair that with a more serious burr grinder than I currently have and I'd be a happy camper.
