I got mine on amazon for $11. small (perfect for my office) and is a quick read. I don't care about timers since i use my phone. and if it craps out in a year or gets wet and shorts out - I spent $11 on it.

Pretty much the same one I have. Tenth gram resolution. 3000g max (good for roasting). $11 (It's 13 now, but it'll drop). Does everything I've asked of it (I no timer, but I don't want one. I have another timer on my machine). A functional bargain. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DGEWHN4/
I had to break this into another comment due to per comment character limits.
The following previously belonged to the above comment, but was moved here due to the above mentioned limts.
> Something you can do now: Build a filament drybox. Seriously, some filaments such as certain Nylons can go bad in just a few hours, depending on ambient humidity levels. All filaments are susceptible to moisture absorption, and ideally should be kept in something like a Spannerhands holder, even while printing, but at worst you should store them in a big plastic tub with silica gel beads to keep them dry.
> If I had to give one last tip, don't stock up on too much filament yet! Seriously! I thought I would be printing mostly in PLA but now that I've had a few weeks to work with it, I've learned I prefer PETG more, and now I have so much extra PLA! I'm sure I'll find something to do with it, but for my final tip I would add "And get a good variety!". Services like MakerBox (referral) let you try a bunch of different filaments on the cheap. It's not a ton of each filament (about 50g), but I love the variety of materials and colors.
Original second level comment begins:
Final Tips: Bonus Round!
There are tons of other accessories you can get ahead of time. None of these are necessary, but are small things you might end up using (or wanting to try :P), and should help get you started getting a wishlist together. Besides the ones mentioned in this comment (and the one that precedes it) already:
Edit: Upon rereading my comment I realized I have a problem.. I own every product I just listed..
^^Except ^^for ^^the ^^nozzles ^^kit ^^so ^^it's ^^not ^^that ^^big ^^of ^^a ^^problem, ^^right?... ^^Right?!
I use this AMIR scale I picked up off Amazon for $11. It has 0.1 gram accuracy and I check it with a calibration weight one a week. It still works perfect a year later.
I own this one, its been great!

Sometimes it goes to another dollar off on sale.
Decent, has little waterproof plastic box covers. Cheap, fast.
I think the general opinion is that using a consistent method of coffeemaking is most important. But how to achieve this?
There are several variables involved in coffeemaking, and if you're sloppy, it's hard to get consistency, or even to refine your technique once you start to get it right. So I will list a few variables and how to keep them consistent.
But above all, the quality of the coffee is probably the biggest effect on a good tasting brew. Always use fresh, whole beans and grind them immediately before use.
Here is what I use:
So I spent about $300 total, you could get the $100 cheaper grinder and do this all for $200. And you would be a very happy coffee drinker.
I got one of these cheap ones.
It works. Seems as precise as it can be, clear display, easy controls. But it's irritatingly slow. For coffee beans that's not a problem. But when pouring slow drip it's irritating. I often overshoot.
> My current machine doesn't have any recipe settings
Very few do, but that's OK! All you need is a cheap scale and a stopwatch. Measure the ground espresso going in (the "dose"), then put the scale on your drip tray and set the cup on the scale (you'll see me doing that in the picture I posted of my machine). Press the button on your machine and start a stopwatch (on your phone or whatever) to set a timer.
If your machine allows for manual control, stop it somewhere before the desired final shot mass. There will be some espresso dripping out after you press stop so you'll have to learn approximately when to stop (on mine there's about 3 grams or so, so for 27g I'll stop at 24g). If your machine is fully automatic, first check to confirm that you can't control it manually, otherwise you just need to let it run until it's done and hopefully it's not a straight timer.
Finally, if the 27g shot (or whatever the recipe would call for) took too long, then adjust your grinder to a looser grind. If it ran too quickly (again, based on the recipe), then adjust your grinder for a finer grind.
This is the basic process for following an espresso recipe. Espresso is a super tweaky process and everything you do impacts the result in one way or another. Using the scale and stopwatch you can track the process against your recipe and then you can use your grinder settings to control the result.
I got this one for my AeroPress needs. It isn’t waterproof, but it is cheap enough that if it breaks I can replace it 10 times and still be ahead of the acaia one.
