Pick the 5th mid-range espresso machine
Added 2020-07-29 09:13:13 +0000 UTCHi all,
I'm currently wrapping up shopping for the next round of espresso machine testing.
We're in the up to ยฃ500 category. The question is - what are we missing? Please comment, and also heart/like comments to vote them up if someone has mentioned your pick already!
Currently in the lineup:
- Gaggia Classic Pro
- Rancilio Silvia E
- Lelit Anna (I'd have gone for the Gloria but I cannot find one in stock anywhere)
- Delonghi Dedica (a bit out of its league but it has been so heavily requested!)
I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but the requirements should also be that it is not built to order/is broadly available with reasonable global distribution.
I'm leaning towards the Sage/Breville Duo Temp Pro (ยฃ379) but if there's anything else obvious then let me know. I'd really like to keep it to 5, but could stretch to 6. (I'm also thinking that there might be a longer cut I could put up for Patreon backers, because these videos easily get pretty big!)
EDIT: For clarity - the four machines listed have been purchased. Also, I'll be reviewing the La Pavoni Europiccola in its own video as part of the Classics of Coffee series.
