    Hi kopiireng, have you tried gumtree? There is never a shortage of commercial espresso machines that fit your budget going for sale on there. La cimbalis, wegas, expobars, etc all suitable for a small café environment. We bought an expobar elen 2 for our church coffee cart for roughly ~$4000 through gumtree and it’s been quite the workhorse. Also make sure you set aside a generous budget for the grinder, infinitely more important than the espresso machine if you want to serve up a good coffee!

          A couple of comments:

          a) PID machines require service providers to "re think" what they know about espresso machine repair (in comparison to HX type). If your "local dealer" doesnt have much experience with PID machines or is not really close by, or if the PID machine on offer has had a lot of use previously, I would tend to steer clear of the PID machine.

          b) Without knowing the condition of the machine you are being offered, generally speaking the NS Appia is (or used to be) a very solid reliable long lived work horse.

          Lastly, no matter what you buy, you will be looking to your "local dealer" to provide you with exemplary back up service. He sells you a machine, he has a responsibility to look after you, so make sure he is reputable and can disharge his reponsibility to you.

          Hope that helps.
