I have the EC235BK and KRUPS GVX2 and bought a cheap bottomless portafilter and a bigger basket now I can have solid espresso without breaking the bank!
Also please don’t buy this one it broke the second I plugged it in and required some hardware hacking to make it work
But for a sub 300€ setup for everything involved it’s a great espresso.
Same. … we’re looking to step up a bit from our beginner level Krups GVX2 which did an adequate job for a couple years but was constantly troubled with the multitude of safety overrides preventing it from running ☹️
Suggestions? $ < 200 if possible
Thx

Was using a KitchenAid flat blade grinder for a while, but on Prime Day they had the Krups burr grinder on sale for around $50, so I grabbed it! Way more consistent.
Whole beans and a real grinder (Krups at my house) made my Mr. Coffee taste better than a $5.00 cup at the specialty shop. I have an undercounter filter to make sure my H2O is worthy, too.
I get the Krupps grinders cheap at goodwills. I have several, some spice profiles affect the flavors of others. Specifically I don’t like cinnamon or cloves in some combinations unless called for. I make a lot of Mexican foods and I want to have control of the flavors. Mostly just chilies, cumin and coriander in one and everything else in the other one. You can wipe out single one and then grind some rice in it to clear the “grinder”.

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
