I got a breville machine/grinder package – I did a barista course last year and it’s all about consistency – the trainer recommended even if you have a basic machine get a great grinder so at least the grind is consistent – would love to get one of these machines from Melbourne company http://www.disave.com.au/product-category/machines/office-models/
Also good, freshly roasted beans (don’t buy pre-ground) – I like the single origins and blends (especially the Crompton Road blend) from Five Senses.

Anyone got a recommendation for a serious (possibly manual) coffee machine? I’ve been using a DeLonghi automatic one but now feeling that I’d prefer something like this: BES890 or BES920: http://www.breville.com.au/beverages/coffee-machines.html The main thing that puts me off is the Breville brand.
