I'm from Alicante, Spain (58mm), and I've had a Saeco Aroma Negro coffee machine for almost 30 years. They're practically indestructible. A year ago, I bought a bottomless portafilter for it and a Kingrinder grinder, which has given me a broken shoulder, an injured elbow, and a real desire to make espresso at 5 a.m. I haven't had much luck with the grinder, so I'm planning to sell it. Yesterday, I received a Hibrew G5 grinder, and things seem to be looking much better. Next week, I'm getting a new machine to replace my Saeco—a Miicoffe Apex V2—and I'm going crazy trying to decide on a good quality bottomless portafilter that's compatible and won't have to be returned. If you could also help me with a decent coffee scale, I'd really appreciate it.
