Now a 6k commercial machine that's what I am talkin about!
But seriously you could find a nice commercial roaster in around the $800-$1,500 range but it would need a little work.
I really need to try out that Mypressi Twist, do you have one?

I do overdose. Before I do anything I try to research it throroughly; perhaps too thoroughly. As a result, when I bought my Silvia, I purchased a three shot basket for the naked portafilter I got with it. I usually dose 21 grams of grinds for my 2 oz shot. So I do overdose the shot. It may just be the profile of the Mysore Nuggets because I had never used that as a SO shot before.

Once I have all the basic brewers, I'll drop the $6k. I don't plan on learning to roast anytime soon though.
I do not have a Mypressi Twist, yet. But I did just order a Presso and Aero Press and should get them this week or next. I think the Mypressi is great to make a shot of 'spro without really trying. That's why I got the Presso first, it's a challenge and basically the same price.

Have you tried dosing 17g or 18g for a double shot? This amount seems to work really well, although, I haven't had any experience pulling espresso shots with single origin's. Now SO's would be good for straight shots, but would never for milk based drinks.

I'll try a 17g and an 18g shot tonight. And you are right, espresso only; no espresso based milk drinks. Straight espresso. I forgot to mention, not that it makes a lot of difference since the taste is all that really matters, but it had great crema; I would say, 90% or greater right out of the portafilter. It dissipated fairly quickly to around 50% – 60%, but it was really pretty right into the cup.
