Any Espresso Junkies?

How are the $1,000 range at home all in one units? I was looking at the Bosch with the built in grinder and milk frother for my wife.

No experience with a Bosch. We have a Jura at works and it’s ok, nothing great. The Breville Oracles are nice but they’re pricey. I’m not sure that what is available as far as automatic units in the $1000 range.

Appreciate the quick response!

Jura. No one else comes close.

Quickmill Anita Evo here + a Baratza Vario grinder. I like the quickmill, but it can be a finicky when you refill the water reservoir and refuse to heat…Italian craftsmanship I guess. But I highly recommend Baratza for the grinder. I’ve had it 15+ years, and in addition to replacing the burrs, when the control buttons got finicky, I bought a replacement board, when the motor shaft sheared off after years of use (not sure if I got a green bean or just age)…I was able to buy a new motor and rebuild it. Basically if it breaks, you can fix it (including online instructions) which is really nice to see in the modern era.

I posted the pic of Medaglia D'Oro Espresso Instant Coffee only half in jest. It is, in all seriousness, my everyday enjoyment. I'm the only one in the house who drinks coffee, it is super easy, super convenient, and every cup is the same, at home, on travel, and on a hunt.

It is also commonly used in many of my seasonings for various meat dishes, typically venison, beef, pork, and surprisingly, yellow fin tuna. Multi- use and it is far less acidic than other choices, so it works quite well with my gut, unlike other choices out there.

Many scoff, until I make them a cup, then they will, begrudgingly admit it's very good, especially considering it's an instant. Those that don't? More for me!

Life can be complicated. Keeping it simple can be a joy!
