What are the requirements and what is the budget?

I started my home barista journey with a Mazzer Mini paired with my Rancilio Silvia, now got a Linea Mini.

Top quality, steppless grinder. Reasonably fast & powerfull motor and grind retention. (Faster is not better due to heat build up impacting flavour). Lasts forever.

To add: the grinder is more important than the coffee machine. If you don't get the grind right, you won't be getting a good extraction and hence taste either.

Rather prioritize investing in a proper grinder that lasts for years than in a expensive coffee machine in my experience.

The better you get at coffee making the more likely you will want to get a "better" machine at some point as it is the limiting factor, not necessarily the grinder (not the mazzer or anything in its range).
