Hi all,
I've been looking into making my own coffee and stumbled upon CS whilst looking for reviews. Looks like a great community, I've had a dig around and after reading a few threads I'm even more inspired to take the plunge and buy a 2nd hand set up! I've narrowed down my list based off budget, decided to start pretty low as I have no idea whether I'll be any good or like the coffee I make. Checking out gummie and fb marketplace, bit limited in my area but this is what I've been able to find:
Now, is it worth spending the extra on the EM5900 and grinder? Or would I be just as good with the Roma/EM4800/EM4820? They're all thermoblock machines so not sure about difference between them apart from finish quality?
From what I've read the Cafe Roma can be a decent machine to start off on, any thoughts on the Sunbeam machines?

Checking out gummie and fb marketplace, bit limited in my area but this is what I've been able to find:
- Sunbeam Aristo EM5900 & Grinder EM0450, going for around $140
- Breville Cafe Roma going for around $40-50
- Sunbeam Cafe Crema II EM4820 going for around $50
