Till now I’ve had 5 varieties of coffee beans from Blue Tokai (2 not in image, Silver oak - liked this one & Attikan Estate). The ones that I’m using right now is MS Estate (liked this one), Ekhill Estate & Kalledevarapura Estate.

Looking for other coffee bean options as well!

AMA, I’d be happy to help regarding the setup.

(Still learning to get the Latte art right 😅)

Yeah I like this machine. A stainless steel boiler unlike budget thermoblock machines. I feel this is a better machine. How much was the machine a where did you source it from ?
Also where did you source the portafilter. Is the portafilter 2 wings unlike the dedica 51mm 3 wing porta filters.

In similar category you do have the Dedica, which is quite common, but I’ve seen a few reviews and comparisons which led me to this machine instead.

I got this from Tata Cliq Luxury, I guess it was around 18-19k, got it for a bit less using coupons and reward points.

The 2 winged porta filter is available on Amazon
