@fabulmanxxx Hi There! In my experience, it takes about 10 mins for the "heating" indicator light to turn off (meaning that the machine is ready to use). I always give it an extra 5 to heat up the group head more. With daily use, it can be left on continuously (as long as there is water in the tank). Of course this isn't the most energy efficient. I have a customer who purchased an auto timer-the kind you get at hardware stores- to turn on the machine each morning automatically.
@winelover215 Hi there! That's the MaCap MD5 digital. It's a little bit more pricey as it's intended for commercial use or high end home use. There are some great direct dose home grinders we offer too....the Nuova Simonelli 'Grinta', as well as the Baratza Vario or Virtuoso. I'm happy to answer any questions for you in your search for the right grinder - just email me any time.
How long does it take since you turn it ON until you can prepare your first espresso? (heating time). Thanks! Great Vid

As a barista myself, I must say, it's refreshing to see you have good technique. :)
