In this video I'm going through the top 7 sub £500/$500 espresso machines, which in most cases is also sub $500. There's also story time with Coffee Kev, and a couple of secret tips on buying used equipment. But shhh, it's a secret.

Current Gear:
Quick note. I'm including all of this info because when I was starting out, I found it really difficult to figure out what gear to use, so I'm hoping if there's anyone looking to set up for YouTube, this might help. If you need more help just email me, kev at coffeeblog.co.uk - if I don't know the answer I'll ask the professionals.
I'm listing the current setup first that the pros are using, and then my original more budget setup.

My budget setup (prior to working with Brickoven):

Blue Ember Mic (used mainly for voiceovers): [ Ссылка ]
RØDE VideoMic Pro: [ Ссылка ] (note, it's good for the £, but with what I now know thanks to the guys at Brickoven, I'd recommend the RØDE NTG4 [ Ссылка ] or RØDE NT5.
