So, a co-worker asked me for advice on a new coffee maker. I asks her what she wants, and she says something for both coffee and espresso (for milk based drinks) in one unit, small footprint. Uh-oh. Next, she tells me that "Yea, I know the top of the line runs about $600....." I just continue to listen. Grinder never entered the convo. MY first thought was Jura Ena9 refurb at 1st, but even that is $700.
How do you all help folks with these requests for advice?
