/ck/ - Food & Cooking

i'm looking for an espresso machine in the realms of 200€. it's gonna be my first espresso machine so i don't need deep autism tech.
currently looking at the delonghi dedica (new, 150€), gaggia brera (used, 180€), gaggia classic 2009 (used, 140-160€), lelit anna PL41EM (used, 230€) and the sage bambino plus (used, 150€). there's also a rancilio silvia for 320€ used but that's kinda pricey unless it's overwhelmingly better than the other options.
are any of these machines exceedingly good/bad for their price and are there any other options i should look at?

Make?
For me, it's the McChicken®. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken® sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige. One time I asked for McChicken® sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's™ worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!". Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's™ restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs. I even dip my fries in McChicken® sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

What are usual portion sizes in stores in your country? It's a question that came up to me a few days ago when my American cousin told me that chips were often sold in 2 lbs bags in U.S. For us Europoors, that's about 900 grams - an absurd size, in my mind. I browsed through some U.S grocery stores and was kind of confused by the massive package sizes of, well, anything - milk in gallons and whatnot. So I guess it would be interesting to have a thread on packing sizes in your countries.

> My country
Finland

> Meat
400 grams is the most common packaging size
Chicken and Fish occasionally comes in 250 gram packages
> Beverages
Milk: 1 liter
Sodas: 0.5/1.5 liters
Juice: 1 liter
> Bread
8 slices a bag
> Cheese
500 grams
> Frozen goods
500 grams seems to be the golden spot
> Junk food
Chips come in bags of 400 grams usually
Candy in 100 gram or 350 gram
Large chocolate bar is 300 grams

for me it's whole milk
