I'm just pulling your leg, but ya that is a factor so I guess back to fixing the breville!
I know what a good cup of coffee is and yeah this machine doesn't quite pull it off. I've a lot of shit on the go right now, I simply don't have time to be fucking around to pull a perfect shot with a grinder and separate machine. I get my half inch of crema and i'm good, we mix with hot milk anyway (my standard coffee is a flat white). Next step up is near $2K for something that looks good on the benchtop and then i still need a grinder.

And the grinder is the weakest part of the unit, the pump is quite peppy.
