Hey guys, I joined just a short while ago. I found the forum in a link on the Elizabeth review written by Dave Corbey. So glad to be here.
I am an eye surgeon in Northern California, USA. I must admit I had typically just enjoyed fresh ground drip coffee for all the year. My wife has to have her daily latte, so when the pandemic hit I did a bit of research and bought a Breville Barista Express. I learned watching videos etc, and could make a respectable coffee with that machine. We have our coffee drinks together. As my skills improved I really wanted to up my game with better equipment, which does make a difference it turns out. So I got a Niche Zero to use with my Express, which is dramatically better than the built in grinder. I just upgraded to the Lelit Elizabeth, which was recommended by a very knowledgeable fellow on another forum in the USA, and after some research and reading Dave’s review and watching his videos, I bought one. I am really pleased. I will hang out here from time to time when I can. This is such a good group here.
